This study attempted to assess the influence of mechanical forces on potato, tapioca, wheat, rice, and maize starch granules. For this purpose, we used digital analysis microscopic images granules before after grinding using ImageJ software. Additionally, studied temperature size shape by drying starches for 30 min at 60 °C. Our results indicate that very rarely cause damage granules, such as b...

A simple and rapid method is described for the isolation of the acidophilic and basophilic granules from the anterior pituitary gland of the rat. The method involves chromatography of pituitary particulates on columns of No. 545 Celite equilibrated and developed with 0.25 M sucrose. Mitochondria are retained quantitatively on the column. The granules and microsomes which are not retained on the...

Cell growth and proliferation are fundamental processes in living organisms and are dynamically controlled by environmental cues. TOR complex 1 (TORC1) is a central protein kinase involved in the regulation of cell growth in response to a wide variety of cellular states and is the target of the immunosuppressant and anticancer drug rapamycin. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TORC1...

What are stress granules? Stress granules are non-membranous cytoplasmic foci ranging in size from 0.1 to 2.0 μm, composed of non-translating messenger ribonucleoproteins (mRNPs) that rapidly aggregate in cells exposed to adverse environmental conditions. Their assembly is triggered by a variety of environmental stresses including heat shock, oxidative stress, hyperosmolarity, viral infection, ...

neity simply that some proteins must be segregated to survive P inside the neutrophil, or for the neutrophil to survive, much OLYMORPHONUCLEAR leukocytes were discovered by Paul Ehrlich, when fixation and staining techniques as two-component glue has to be stored in two separate made it possible to identify the lobulated nucleus and the tubes, although both will be used at the same time? Whethe...

In neurons, RNA transport is important for local protein synthesis. mRNAs are transported along dendrites as large RNA granules. The localization and dynamics of Puralpha and Staufen1 (Stau1), major components of RNA transport granules, were investigated in cultured hippocampal neurons. Puralpha-positive granules were localized in both the shafts and spines of dendrites. In contrast, Stau1-posi...

A method is described for isolation of relatively large quantities of large and small hormone storage granules from the beef adenohypophysis. The hormone storage granules are highly purified, as indicated by ultrastructural and biochemical criteria. The average size of large granules is 400 mmicro and of small granules is 220 mmicro. The large granules contain growth hormone and prolactin; the ...

An immunogold method was used for investigating the subcellular localization of von Willebrand factor (vWF) and fibrinogen (Fg) in platelets and cultured megakaryocytes from normal subjects and from three patients with the gray platelet syndrome (GPS), a rare congenital disorder characterized by the absence of alpha-granules. In normal platelets at rest, vWF was detected exclusively in alpha-gr...
