Autocrine glutamate signaling drives cell competition in Drosophila.
Cell competition is an evolutionarily conserved quality control process that eliminates suboptimal or potentially dangerous cells. Although differential metabolic states act as direct drivers of competition, how these are measured across tissues is not ...

Induction of Suicidal Erythrocyte Death by Nelfinavir
Toxins, 2015 The HIV protease inhibitor, nelfinavir, primarily used for the treatment of HIV infections, has later been shown to be effective in various infectious diseases including malaria. Nelfinavir may trigger mitochondria-independent cell death.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Stimulation of Erythrocyte Cell Membrane Scrambling by Mushroom Tyrosinase
Toxins, 2014 Background: Mushroom tyrosinase, a copper containing enzyme, modifies growth and survival of tumor cells. Mushroom tyrosinase may foster apoptosis, an effect in part due to interference with mitochondrial function.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Plasmodium berghei-infection induces volume-regulated anion channel-like activity in human hepatoma cells [PDF]
, 2009 Parasite infection can lead to alterations in the permeability of host plasma membranes. Presented here is the first demonstration that this phenomenon occurs in Plasmodium‐infected liver cells.

Cell Volume, Plasma Volume and Cell Percentage in Splanchnic Circulation of Splenectomized Dogs [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1963 The circulating splanchnic cell and plasma volumes were measured with the regional dilution technique in splenectomized dogs under sodium pentobarbital. For a 10-kg dog, the average circulating splanchnic cell volume is 56 (SE m = 5.0) ml and the average circulating splanchnic plasma volume is 98 (SE m

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...
