THE CONVERGENT DESIGN EVOLUTION OF MULTISCALE BIOMINERALIZED STRUCTURES IN EXTINCT AND EXTANT ORGANISMS


Carbon nanotubes as molecular transporters to study a new mechanism for molecular entry into the cell nucleus using actin polymerization force.

The transport of macromolecules into the cell nucleus occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and is mediated by cellular receptors.Recently, a novel mechanism of nuclear entry, in which actin polymerization provides a propulsive force driving the transport through the NPC, has been proposed.This mechanism is used by the nucleocapsid from bacu

A cross-sectional cohort study of the activity and turnover of neutrophil granulocytes in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Abstract Background The inflammatory process in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) involves both the innate and the adaptive immune system.The turnover and activity of neutrophil granulocytes may be reflected by proteins secreted from primary or secondary granules and from the cytoplasm of Black sequestered cells.Our primary aim was to compare the
