Beneficial microorganisms for corals (BMCs) ameliorate environmental stress, but whether
they can prevent mortality and the underlying host response mechanisms remains elusive. …

At a given cytosolic domain of a chromaffin cell, the rate and amplitude of the Ca 2+
concentration ([Ca 2+ ] c ) depends on at least four efficient regulatory systems: 1) plasmalemmal …

The marine sponge Ircinia strobilina crude extract (ISCE) was analyzed as a corrosion inhibitor
for mild steel in 1 mol L −1 HCl. The corrosion behavior was evaluated using weight loss …

Short term inhalation of cigarette smoke (CS) induces significant lung inflammation due to an
imbalance of oxidant/antioxidant mechanisms. Açai fruit (Euterpe oleracea) has significant …

A primary goal of metabolomics studies is to fully characterize the small-molecule composition
of complex biological and environmental samples. However, despite advances in …

The stages of the complex events involved in exocytotic secretion after vesicle-cell membrane
fusion have been examined at the level of individual vesicles. Catecholamine flux from …

Generating properly differentiated embryonic structures in vitro from pluripotent stem cells
remains a challenge. Here we show that instruction of aggregates of mouse embryonic stem …

Chromogranins (Cgs) are the major soluble proteins of dense-core secretory vesicles.
Chromaffin cells from Chga null mice [chromogranin A knock-out (CgA-KO)] exhibited ∼30% …

The pantropical family Eriocaulaceae includes ten genera and c. 1,400 species, with diversity
concentrated in the New World. The last complete revision of the family was published …

Modified herpes virus (amplicons) were used to express myosin regulatory light chain (RLC)
chimeras with green fluorescent protein (GFP) in cultured bovine chromaffin cells to study …
