Ancient chemistry fuels new biology
An enormous new greenhouse project in southern Britain aims to heighten awareness of the human relationship with plants and the growing potential of plant-derived compounds to find new uses, reports Nigel Williams
متن کاملProtein secretion: Sorting sweet sorting
How are proteins sorted to different destinations in eukaryotic cells? Until recently, it was generally thought that the constitutive flow of proteins to the cell surface occurs by default, and that proteins simply accumulate carbohydrate modifications as they pass sequentially through each compartment along the secretory pathway [1]. This hypothesis was supported by studies showing that inhibi...
متن کاملIntuitive, image-based cell sorting using optofluidic cell sorting.
We present a microfluidic cell-sorting device which augments microscopy with the capability to perform facile image-based cell sorting. This combination enables intuitive, complex phenotype sorting based on spatio-temporal fluorescence or cell morphology. The microfluidic device contains a microwell array that can be passively loaded with mammalian cells via sedimentation and can be subsequentl...
متن کاملPalmitoylation-dependent protein sorting
S-palmitoylation is a posttranslational modification that regulates membrane-protein interactions. However, palmitate is more than just a hydrophobic membrane anchor, as many different types of protein are palmitoylated, including transmembrane proteins. Indeed, there is now compelling evidence that palmitoylation plays a key role in regulating various aspects of protein sorting within the cell.
متن کاملSorting through the Cell Biology of Alzheimer's Disease: Intracellular Pathways to Pathogenesis
During the first 100 years of Alzheimer's disease research, this devastating and intractable disorder has been characterized at the clinical, histological, and molecular levels. Nevertheless, many key mechanistic questions remain unanswered. Here we will emphasize the importance of the cell biology of Alzheimer's disease, reviewing the relevant literature that has expanded our mechanistic under...
