The Respiratory Epithelia Provide the Largest Reservoir of Blood Cells in Adult Drosophila Investigating the blood cell system in adult Drosophila, we examined the anatomical sites of hemocytes. We visualized blood cells by fluorescent labeling with macrophage (plasmatocyte)-specific Hemolectin-GAL4 (...
Distribution and evaluation of the fate of cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes in the largest lake of southwest China Junyu Guo, Ying Zhou, Boya Zhang, Jianbo Zhang Pages 87-95 select article Estimating soil nitrate leaching of nitrogen fertilizer from global meta-analysis ...
Sugar dissolving in a cup of coffee is an example of diffusion. The sugar dissolves quickly in the hot drink, and the sugar molecules diffuse until they are uniformly distributed in the drink.The rate of diffusion depends on particle velocity, which in turn depends on the temperature, the ...
Biochemical complexes of lipids and soluble apolipoproteins that transport lipids in lymph fluid and blood to tissues throughout the body. The largest and least dense lipoproteins, chylomicrons, are assembled in the small intestine. Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and the smallest and most de...

Currently, a systematic comparison of the neurotoxic effects of different particle types, shapes, sizes at different exposure concentrations and durations is lacking, but urgently needed to further elucidate the neurotoxic hazard and risk of exposure to micro- and nanoplastics. ...
Table 1 Particle size distribution in µm. Full size table Devices The influence of θ, Gy and Gx was investigated using three different sized flow devices (Fig. 3A), with system 1 being the largest and system 3 the smallest. The design and parameters of all used devices are given in ...
and ran, like everyone else. I passed real close to a victim being torn apart by two of…well, whatever they’d become. Just as I passed, they must have hit an artery and I had to run through a spray of blood. I felt it on my face and had to wipe my eyes to clear my ...
Using independently generated mice with loss and gain of PV1 function, we also confirm that endothelial PV1 is required for diaphragm formation in vivo, and that the diaphragms in organs with fenestrated vessels are essential for maintaining endothelial barrier function, basal permeability and blood ...
The largest transporter gene family is the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. These proteins translocate a wide variety of substrates including sugars, amino acids, metal ions, peptides, and proteins, and a large number of hydrophobic compounds and metabolites across extra- and ...
