Genes may influence production of a protective antioxidant called metallothionein, which protects the brain from free radicals. People with Alzheimer's but no symptoms also had fewer immune cells ...

Another group at the university is examining acupuncture’s effect on metallothionein-2 (MT-2), a protein linked to the relaxation of airway smooth muscle cells (ASM), which contract during ...

For the investigation of a robust transcriptional response, I utilize the Drosophila metallothionein genes and the cellular response to heavy metal shock. For experiments investigating ...

The aim of medical treatment for WD is to remove the toxic deposit of copper from the body to produce a negative copper balance, and to prevent its reaccumulation. Successful therapy is measured ...

Moreover, CBD increases the expression of the metallothionein protein, which enhances its antioxidant response. In the animal models, cannabidiol administration improved neuropathology in the ...

Bone remodelling is the continuous metabolic process of bone breakdown (resorption) by specialised cells called osteoclasts, followed by formation of new bone tissue (ossification) by cells called ...
