Artificial cells, or liposomes, are a promising area in biotechnology and nanotechnology, and now they have a new power source. An experimental finding has revealed a new method for converting light ...
The first step in shaping the brain is that the neural plate, a sheet-like cell layer, curves to form the neural tube. Assistant Professor Makoto Suzuki of the National Institute for Basic Biology, ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Peritoneal cells from thioglycollate-stimulated mice were allowed to adhere to coverglasses for 2 h to give a dense monolayer of adherent ...
High-speed pumps: Cells use high-speed pumps to pump calcium ions out of their interior. A team has created the first comprehensive transport model of plasma membrane CaATPase (PMCA) to study calcium ...
The ability to modify the intracellular concentrations of divalent calcium ions is vital to normal cell functioning. In the cells of the cardiac muscle, calcium ions play a crucial role in coupling ...
An improved basal medium is presented that requires only minimal supplementation with dialyzed fetal bovine serum or bovine serum albumin and fetuin to be comparable to Ham's F-10, which requires 15% ...
Instead of protecting us, the immune system can sometimes go awry, as in the case of autoimmune diseases and allergies. An Ludwig-Maximilian-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich team has dissected how mast ...
Mutations in a calcium ion channel anoctamin 5 (ANO5), commonly found in muscle cells, cause the debilitating disease called limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L). Characterized by progressive ...
The first step in shaping the brain is that the neural plate, a sheet-like cell layer, curves to form the neural tube. Scientists have now shown that during the process of neural tube formation a ...
