Chicken keratinocytes also show important properties that mammalian keratinocytes do not possess: they accumulate neutral lipids, usually in the form of a single perinuclear droplet; they accumulate carotenoids; they synthesize 尾-kerAmandine Vanhoutteghem...
Under a Creative Commons license open accessGlycolipids are mainly found in phototrophic organisms (like plants and cyanobacteria), in Gram-positive bacteria, and a few other bacterial phyla. Besides the function as bulk membrane lipids, they often play a role under phosphate deprivation as surrogates...
Therefore, this protein might interact with meibomian lipids present in human tear fluid and probably contribute to the surface spreading of these lipids or it may function as a clearance factor, protecting the cornea from harmful lipophilic molecules....
In therapeutic applications for cancer, nanoparticles (NPs) <300 nm localize at tumor sites because they escape from leaky tumor vasculature in a process known as the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR) [2,3]. As tumor vessel pore cutoff sizes are typically between 380 and 780 nm...
