Later research interest in rapamycin was mainly on the mechanisms of its immunosuppressive and anti-proliferative effects. It was found that rapamycin caused binding to FK506-binding protein 12 kDa (FKBP12) and other proteins after entering fungi cells to depress cell proliferation (Yang and Guan,...
Human cells consist of various components, including protein, chromosomes, multiple nutrients, water, and many more. The organelle is the term to refer to all the ingredients of a human cell. At times, organelles create tiny sacs that get detached from the cells. Other cells requiring the nutr...
In the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in the implication of extracellular vesicles (EVs) involved in cell-to-cell communication. Many cell types secrete EVs, including dendritic cells [4], reticulocytes [5], lymphocytes [6], and cancer cells [7], and can be found in...
Contrary to the biosynthetic pathways of many terpenoids, which are well characterized and elucidated, their transport inside subcellular compartments and the secretion of reaction intermediates and final products at the short- (cell-to-cell), medium- (tissue-to-tissue), and long-distance (organ-to...
For each sieve tube element, there is a corresponding companion cell that contains a nucleus, organelles and very dense cytoplasm full of nutrients. The companion cells carry out the living functions for both itself and its sieve tube element. These two cells are actually formed from a single ...
