Insulinotropic activity of Tinospora crispa extract: effect on β-cell Ca2+ handling by Noor, Hamdan, Ashcroft, Stephen J. H.

“…The mechanism of insulinotropic action of Tinospora crispa was investigated in vitro using an insulin-secreting clonal β-cell line, HIT-T15. The aqueous extract sensitizes the β-cell to extracellular Ca2+ and promotes intracellular Ca2+ accumulation which in turn causes increased insulin release. …”

Parallel and distributed algorithms for computational fluid flow simulations by Vu, Thanh Tung

“…The new approach is then customized for different numerical schemes in three fluid flow simulation cases: (1) flood modelling using a second-order Godunov-type monotone upstream scheme with second-order accuracy; (2) computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling for laminar flows using the 2-step explicit numerical scheme from the Lax-Wendroff family of predictors and correctors and (3) Lattice Boltzmann method for laminar flows with two dimensions and nine possible directions for streaming processes. …”

A yeast two-hybrid system for the screening and characterization of small-molecule inhibitors of protein–protein interactions identifies a novel putative Mdm2-binding site in p53 by Wong, Jin Huei, Alfatah, Mohammad, Sin, Mei Fang, Sim, Hong May, Verma, Chandra Shekhar, Lane, David P., Arumugam, Prakash

“…Using the p53-Mdm2 interaction to optimize the assay, we show that the p53-Mdm2 inhibitor nutlin-3 is a substrate for the yeast ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter Pdr5. By deleting nine ABC transporter-related genes, we generated a ABC9Δ yeast strain that is highly permeable to small molecules. …”
