The analysis of cellular ultrastructure is paramount for gaining a comprehensive understanding of cell functionality. By examining the intricate details within a cell, researchers can uncover the mechanisms that drive various cellular processes and functions. However, differentiating between organelles, membran...

The prime function of aquaporins (AQPs) is generally believed to be that of increasing water flow rates across membranes by raising their osmotic or hydraulic permeability. In addition, this applies to other small solutes of physiological importance. Notable applications of this ‘simple permeability ...
Despite the vast amount of information concerning the mechanisms that control PKC activation and function in cellular models, the relevance of individual PKC isozymes in the progression of human cancer is still a matter of controversy. Although the expression of PKC isozymes is altered in multiple ...
Thus, the most frequent base substitution at codon 12 of the KRAS gene in lung cancer is GGT to TGT, which results in a glycine to cysteine substitution, known as the KRAS G12C mutation [7]. G12C accounts for approximately 30 % of KRAS mutations in NSCLC, followed by G12V (valine,...
Increasing evidence suggests that inflammatory and immune components in brain are important in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and anti-inflammatory and immunotherapeutic approaches may be amenable to AD treatment. It is known that complement activation occurs
Stochastic encounters subsequently made with self-ligands during positive selection in the thymus imprint functional biases that a T cell will carry with it throughout its lifetime, although ongoing interactions with self in the periphery ensure a level of plasticity in the gene expression wiring of...
Cells of multicellular organisms are surrounded by and attached to a matrix of fibrous polysaccharides and proteins known as the extracellular matrix. This
An important challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic has been to understand asymptomatic disease and the extent to which this may be a source of transmission. As asymptomatic disease is by definition hard to screen for, there is a lack of clarity about this aspect of the COVID-19 spectrum. ...
