As mentioned, exosomes exert the effects of the cell they originated, so NK cell-derived exosomes are expected to have cytotoxic effects on target cells. Lugini et al.isolated exosomes from resting and activated NK cells and showed that these exosomes contain perforin and express FasL, which con...
Current (cations) flowing from the cis to the trans compartment is considered positive and plotted upward. RESULTS We tested caveolae and mitochondria isolated from different organs (bovine brain, rat heart, and dog lung) for the presence of caveolin 1 or 3, of a mitochondrial marker, namely ...
In a paper published in 2015, Professor Sutherland's group at the MRC LMB proposed that cyanide, although a deadly poison, was in fact a key ingredient in the primordial soup from which all life on Earth originated. In this hypothesis, carbon from meteorites that slammed into the young Earth...
Indeed, these authors also suggest that current mitochondria have retained the ability to synthesize melatonin from these original organisms. Although the mitochondrial production of melatonin has been demonstrated, great efforts are required to fully understand how it is coordinated with its production in...
str., only one out of 30 analysed samples originated from its presumed native range. 3.3. Phylogeny The phylogenetic analyses yielded, as expected, results similar to earlier studies. The available data do not provide a resolved mitochondrial phylogeny of Helicini (even with the “maxloci” ...
