Initiation of hepatitis C virus infection is dependent on cholesterol and cooperativity between CD81 and scavenger receptor B type I. [PDF]
In the past several years, a number of cellular proteins have been identified as candidate entry receptors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) by using surrogate models of HCV infection.

Caveolae and the cardiac myocyte [PDF]
Caveolae, invaginated lipid rafts, orchestrate signalling in the cardiac myocyte. Here we highlight advances in the field which are relevant to the role of caveolae in these cells. Recent analysis of the molecular organisation and structure of the coat complex, which lines the internal surface of caveolae, suggest a stable inner caveolin layer covered ...

The introduction of the electron microscope to the study of the biological materials in the second half of the last century has dramatically expanded our view and understanding of the inner workings of cells by enabling the discovery and study of subcellular organelles. A population of flask-shaped or spherical invaginations of the plasma membrane were

Caveolae/raft-dependent endocytosis [PDF]
Although caveolae are well-characterized subdomains of glycolipid rafts, their distinctive morphology and association with caveolins has led to their internalization being considered different from that of rafts. In this review, we propose that caveolae and rafts are internalized via a common pathway, caveolae/raft-dependent endocytosis, defined by its

Strain-dependent porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) entry and replication in T-lymphoblasts [PDF]
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the etiological agent of PCV2-associated diseases (PCVAD). PCV2 targets lymphoblasts, and pigs suffering from PCVAD display lymphocyte depletion in lymphoid tissues. PCV2 infection of lymphoblasts has not been studied.

Porous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs) reprogram macrophage endocytosis of manganese@albumin‐based TLR4 nanoagonists, driving TRIF‐biased TLR4 signaling, eliciting robust proinflammatory responses, and potentiating macrophage‐mediated immunotherapeutic effects against NSCLC.

The Evolution of Cholesterol-Rich Membrane in Oxygen Adaption: The Respiratory System as a Model. [PDF]
The increase in atmospheric oxygen levels imposed significant environmental pressure on primitive organisms concerning intracellular oxygen concentration management.

The pre‐internalization phase of endocytosis remains poorly characterized at single‐cell levels. Single‐cell pre‐internalization mechanics are investigated using advanced robotic techniques. Cancer cells exhibit biphasic adhesion – rapid initial binding followed by reinforcement – while fibroblasts show gradual engagement.

Assessing the Barriers to Universal Antiretroviral Treatment Access for HIV/AIDS in South Africa [PDF]
Caveolae are a type of invaginated membrane domain that has been shown to be involved in several disease states, including lipodystrophy, muscular dystrophies and cancer.

Oral Protein Therapy for the Future - Transport of Glycolipid-Modified Proteins: Vision or Fiction? [PDF]
The reliable and early diagnosis of common complex multifactorial diseases depends on the individual determination of all (or as many as possible) polymorphisms of each susceptibility gene together with amount and type of the corresponding gene products ...
