Researchers became interested in the fragment because it appeared to retain some of the signaling activity of the parent molecule while being far smaller and easier to work with
Longevity Signaling Unique mitochondria-nucleus communication pathway under study in aging models
The binding of Dectin-1 with - glucans can start and control the innate immune response (142, 162), such as phagocytosis, inflammatory cytokines production, ROS production, and pro-inflammatory factors production, leading to the elimination of infectious agents (158, 164, 165)
As such, zinc, which is able to function both as a signaling mediator and neurotoxin, has been implicated in cerebral ischemia
