Extracellular proteins devoid of signal peptides use nonclassical secretion mechanisms for their export. These mechanisms are independent of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi. Some nonclassically released proteins, particularly fibroblast growth factors (FGF) 1 and 2, are exported as a result of their direct translocation through the cell membrane. This process requires specific interactions ...

In this paper we introduce a new technique for deriving the determining equations of the nonclassical symmetries associated with a nonlinear partial diierential equation system, such that, all the symbolic manipulation programs designated to calculate classical Lie symmetries can also be used for nding nonclassical symmetries, without any adaptation of the program. This algorithm was implemente...

This chapter presents a history of observations that crystallization can go well beyond the simple ‘expected’ behaviour found in the salt cellar or when you buy a chemical. Biomorphs, crystal gardens, ‘crystal souls’, but also the remarkable pattern and structures of biominerals made researchers think that there is something beyond the concept of the bare three-dimensional regularity of molecul...

It is becoming increasingly clear that vitamin D has a broad range of actions in the human body. Besides its well-known effects on calcium/phosphate homeostasis, vitamin D influences muscle function, cardiovascular homeostasis, nervous function, and the immune response. Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency has been associated with muscle weakness and a high incidence of various chronic diseases s...

Targeting at the realization of scalable photonic quantum technologies, generation many photons, their propagation in large optical networks, and a subsequent detection analysis sophisticated correlations are essential for understanding macroscopic systems. In this experimental contribution, we explore joint operation all mentioned ingredients. We benchmark our time-multiplexing framework that ...

Monocytes and macrophages are abundantly present in both human atherosclerotic plaques and lesions obtained from animal models. Direct evidence for the importance of monocytes in atherogenesis could be demonstrated in a study where their depletion reduced the plaque formation in rabbits. Three principal monocyte subsets (named classical, intermediate, and nonclassical) have been described in mi...
