Stores of glucose in the brain could play a much more significant role in the pathological degeneration of neurons than ...

Pixar’s Elio created its alien beings not by gazing into telescopes, but by peering into microscopes.

Animal cells have many small vacuoles within them while plant cells have one large one. The vacuole within a plant cell can ...

For example, Atg9 and Atg18 localize to the vacuole membrane and participate in forming the extending vacuole arms during micropexophagy 32, 91.

Peroxisome–Vacuole Contact Sites Previously, peroxisome–vacuole contact has been observed during micropexophagy in O. polymorpha (Bellu et al., 2001). In nitrogen starvation conditions, the vacuole ...

Contractile vacuole Although the presence of a contractive vacuole is very common in protozoa, there are few reports describing the presence of such a structure in trypanosomes.

These pigments are a useful indicator of membrane fluidity as they are typically contained within the vacuole of intact beetroot cells. An increase in membrane fluidity will cause the pigment to leak ...

Since renal vacuole formation may be particularly problematic for diabetic patients, we engineered site-directed PEGylated variants of FGF21 with sustained potency and minimized vacuole formation.

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

The malaria parasite exports an array of proteins while it resides in the erythrocytes of its host. This Review describes the functions of parasite proteins that interact with the erythrocyte ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have developed a method to convert human urine into a usable material. They ...
