However, because it has not always been used with care, the literature contains misinterpretations, especially as to what is a virus and what is actually a cell organelle, e.g., and . It is important to review the subject periodically to maintain its quality....
interactions between malaria parasites and their host erythrocytes Thomas E Wellems1, Rick M Fairhurst1 1Laboratory of Malaria and Vector Research, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-8132, USA Cell Research (2012) 22:453-456...
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...
L. monocytogenes is an excellent model for intracellular infection, as it mediates its own uptake into non-phagocytic cells, subsequently escapes from the vacuole, polymerizes actin to spread from cell to cell and secretes factors that alter transcription, post-translational modifications, innate immune...
This complex process involves cell–cell contact and a broad range of secreted bioactive molecules. Invasion, or at the beginning of the microinvasion, implies the breakdown of the dermo-epidermal basement membrane followed by the migration of neoplastic melanocytic cells in the superficial papillary ...
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...
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...
