Effects of combined treatment of minocycline and methylprednisolone on the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukine-6 in experimental spinal cord injury: a light and electron microscopic study.
Sencar L, Yilmaz DM, Tuli A, Polat S
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an important health problem, and there is no universal treatment protocol for it today. Following SCI pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) increase at the lesion site and play important roles in secondary tissue damage. Methylprednisolone (MP) is a glucocorticoid, and minocycline is a tetracycline-derived antibiotic both with neuroprotective effects on central nervous system trauma. However, there are limited...

A multi-layered structure of the interphase chromocenter revealed by proximity-based biotinylation.
Kochanova NY, Schauer T, Mathias GP, Lukacs A, Schmidt A, Flatley A, Schepers A, Thomae AW, Imhof A
During interphase centromeres often coalesce into a small number of chromocenters, which can be visualized as distinct, DAPI dense nuclear domains. Intact chromocenters play a major role in maintaining genome stability as they stabilize the transcriptionally silent state of repetitive DNA while ensuring centromere function. Despite its biological importance, relatively little is known about the molecular composition of the chromocenter or the processes that mediate chromocenter formation and mai...

A dynamic microbial sulfur cycle in a serpentinizing continental ophiolite.
Sabuda MC, Brazelton WJ, Putman LI, McCollom TM, Hoehler TM, Kubo MDY, Cardace D, Schrenk MO
Serpentinization is the hydration and oxidation of ultramafic rock, which occurs as oceanic lithosphere is emplaced onto continental margins (ophiolites), and along the seafloor as faulting exposes this mantle-derived material to circulating hydrothermal fluids. This process leads to distinctive fluid chemistries as molecular hydrogen (H2 ) and hydroxyl ions (OH- ) are produced and reduced carbon compounds are mobilized. Serpentinizing ophiolites also serve as a vector to transport sulfur compou...
