Hola, mis amigos de la ciencia! This week, researchers reported that hominins strode bipedally across Europe 500,000 years ...

The pleura (plural: pleurae) is a two-layered membrane that covers the lung. Between the layers is a small amount of lubricating fluid, known as pleural fluid, which helps cushion the lung and reduce ...

Unbroken cells and nucleus fraction were removed by low-speed centrifugation (1200g for 10 min). The supernatant was collected and centrifuged at a higher speed (5000g, 10 min) to remove the ...

Lysosomal exocytosis occurs when the lysosomes fuse with the plasma membrane of a cell to expose and release their contents outside of the cell. Essentially, lysosomes and lysosomal exocytosis act ...

Instead of using nutrients to make ATP, mitochondria can use them to make the cellular building blocks that will form DNA, new proteins, and new cell membranes. How do mitochondria choose which of ...

Cardiac ischemia/reperfusion disrupts plasma membrane integrity and induces various types of programmed cell death. The ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) proteins, particularly ...

This study identifies a pathway for oxidation and assembly of mitochondrial inner membrane proteins. Dbi1 is a conserved mitochondrial inner membrane protein that interacts with the unassembled pool ...

Most of us remember two things from high school biology: that mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells and that we inherit stable sets of chromosomes from our two parents. Both truisms are only ...

Various external factors modulate the metabolic efficiency of mitochondria. This review focuses on the impact of the growth factor neuregulin and its ErbB receptors on mitochondria and their ...
