[2].The design and synthesis of receptors for biologically important and environmentally harmful

anion pollutants has attracted considerable attention in supramolecular chemistry [3,4]. More and

more attentions have been paid...

Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are the main sensors of pathogen and danger signals in innate immunity. They are mainly expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells of different organs. Toll like receptors (TLRs) are the most studied and best...

more pronounced than

acquired immunity. This notion is based on the discovery of Germ-line-encoded receptors

recognizing conserved molecular motifs from both exogenous and endogenous sources which

are collectively called pattern...

BACKGROUND: Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are the main sensors of pathogens and

danger signals in innate immunity. They are mainly expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells

of different organs. Toll like receptors (TLRs...

Objective: To investigate the expression of leptin and its functional receptor mRNA by

reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis in sheep oocytes.

Methods: Sheep ovaries were collected in reproductive season from...

Molecular receptors in living organisms play basic roles in the nutrition, growth and differentiation of live cells [1]. Artificial receptors are able to imitate this function which can help scientists to understand the behavior of natural processes...

fertility, has been a matter of debate. Expression of leptin and its receptor in some reproductive organs suggests that leptin has both endocrine and paracrine/autocrine effects on reproduction. Various evidences have pointed to a direct role of leptin...
