Brain extracellular space as a diffusion barrier [PDF]
The extracellular space (ECS) consists of the narrow channels between brain cells together with their geometrical configuration and contents. Despite being only 20-60 nm in width, the ECS typically occupies 20% of the brain volume. Numerous experiments over the last 50 years have established that molecules moving through the ECS obey the laws of ...

Promotion of Lung Cancer Metastasis by SIRT2‐Mediated Extracellular Protein Deacetylation
Acetylation of extracellular proteins has been observed in many independent studies where particular attention has been given to the dynamic change of the microenvironmental protein post‐translational modifications.

Astrocytic Ion Dynamics: Implications for Potassium Buffering and Liquid Flow [PDF]
We review modeling of astrocyte ion dynamics with a specific focus on the implications of so-called spatial potassium buffering, where excess potassium in the extracellular space (ECS) is transported away to prevent pathological neural spiking.

Extracellular cysteine in connexins: Role as redox sensors [PDF]
Indexación: Scopus.Connexin-based channels comprise hemichannels and gap junction channels. The opening of hemichannels allow for the flux of ions and molecules from the extracellular space into the cell and vice versa.

Extracellular space preservation aids the connectomic analysis of neural circuits
Dense connectomic mapping of neuronal circuits is limited by the time and effort required to analyze 3D electron microscopy (EM) datasets. Algorithms designed to automate image segmentation suffer from substantial error rates and require significant ...

Viruses on the Move in the Extracellular Space [PDF]
Positive-strand (+) RNA viruses act as their own messengers, encoding an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase that can replicate their sense RNA genome. This allows (+) RNA viruses to replicate outside the nucleus, within replication complexes formed from host organelle membranes often called ...

Macrophages have a vital role in the immune system through elimination of cell debris and microorganisms by phagocytosis. The activation of macrophages by tumour necrosis factor-α induces expression of extracellular cell-surface vimentin and promotes ...

Gastropod-derived haemocyte extracellular traps entrap metastrongyloid larval stages of Angiostrongylus vasorum, Aelurostrongylus abstrusus and Troglostrongylus brevior [PDF]
Background: Phagocyte-derived extracellular traps (ETs) were recently demonstrated mainly in vertebrate hosts as an important effector mechanism against invading parasites.

Formation of Extracellular Traps - the Effective Mechanism of Organism Protection from Pathogen
Summarized and analyzed are modern literature data on capability of cells (neutrophils, eosinophils and labrocytes) realizing the mechanisms of innate immunity, to form extracellular traps that capture and kill pathogens by secretion of DNA and ...
