Does the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1 need to be measured in early disease screening in COVID-19 and AIDS patients?
The defective gene in the global chronic disease epidemic has now been linked to the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1. Sirtuin 1 is now an important gene for consideration in Frontiers and Genetics. Nutritional regulation of Sirtuin 1 is critical to nuclear receptors/transcription factors that are involved with glucose homeostasis, immune system, body temperature regulation, stem cell therapy and mitochondrial biogenesis. Plasma Sirtuin 1 levels may be of critical interest to COVID-19, AIDS and the...

What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...

Can Levodopa and Renin-angiotensin system alter the intercellular tight junction (TJ) proteins in the epithelial cells in colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (in vitro)?
Colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line (Caco-2) express tight junctions from 17-21 days. Levodopa is the precursor of dopamine, a well-known neurotransmitter, owever it also porduce effect in the gut. The renin-angiotensin system is responsible for maintaining homeostais and regulate blood pressure and volume.
Pings FAQ

Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
