Nutraceuticals silybin B, resveratrol, and epigallocatechin-3 gallate-bind to cardiac muscle troponin to restore the loss of lusitropy caused by cardiomyopathy mutations in vitro,... by Yang, Z, Sheehan, AM, Messer, AE, Tsui, S, Sparrow, A, Redwood, C, Kren, V, Gould, IR, Marston, SB

“…Introduction: Adrenergic activation of protein kinase A (PKA) in cardiac muscle targets the sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and contractile apparatus to increase contractile force and heart rate. In the thin filaments of the contractile apparatus, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) Ser22 and Ser23 in the cardiac-specific N-terminal peptide (NcTnI: residues 1 to 32) are the targets for PKA phosphorylation. …”

Securing reform? Post-election power sharing and security sector reform in Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Togo, 2006-2013 by Noyes, A

“…Traditionally used to end high-intensity civil wars, recently power sharing has increasingly been used to terminate an array of lower-intensity conflicts, such as election-related violence in Togo in 2006 and Kenya and Zimbabwe in 2008. The thin but emerging scholarship on post-election power sharing is largely negative, maintaining that the model is unlikely to deliver the institutional reforms necessary to resolve the underlying roots of electoral conflicts. …”

Ethanol sensor using tapered optical fiber coated with graphene-based nanomaterials by Girei, Saad Hayatu
