Competition in the chaperone-client network subordinates cell-cycle entry to growth and stress
(Life Science Alliance, 2019-04-15)
The precise coordination of growth and proliferation has a
universal prevalence in cell homeostasis. As a prominent
property, cell size is modulated by the coordination between
these processes in ...

L-ferritin: one gene, five diseases; from hereditary hyperferritinemia to hypoferritinemia - report of new cases
(MDPI, 2019)
Ferritin is a multimeric protein composed of light (L-ferritin) and heavy (H-ferritin) subunits that binds and stores iron inside the cell. A variety of mutations have been reported in the L-ferritin ...
All-in-one trifunctional strategy: a cell adhesive, bacteriostatic and bactericidal coating for titanium implants
(Elsevier, 2018-09)
Strategies to inhibit initial bacterial adhesion are extremely important to prevent infection on biomaterial surfaces. However, the simultaneous attraction of desired eukaryotic cells remains a challenge ...
The severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy correlates with multiple organ dysfunction in the hypothermia era
(Society of Critical Care Medicine and the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies, 2017)

Induction of ER stress in response to oxygen-glucose deprivation of cortical cultures involves the activation of the PERK and IRE-1 pathways and of caspase-12
(Springer Nature, 2011-04-28)
Disturbance of calcium homeostasis and accumulation of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are considered contributory components of cell death after ischemia. However, the signal-transducing ...
An effect of bilingualism on the auditory cortex
(Society for Neuroscience, 2012-11)
Two studies (Golestani et al., 2007; Wong et al., 2008) have reported a positive correlation between the ability to perceive foreign speech sounds and the volume of Heschl's gyrus (HG), the structure ...
