Microdomains of GPI-anchored proteins in living cells revealed by crosslinking [PDF]
There is some discussion as to whether glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol(GPI)-anchored proteins occur in microdomains in the cell membrane. These putative microdomains have been implicated in processes such as sorting in polarized cells and signal ...

The Role of the CLIC/GEEC Endocytic Pathway for Mechanophysical Transfection of DNA. [PDF]
The clathrin‐independent carriers/GPI‐enriched endocytic compartments (CLIC/GEEC or CG) pathway is a high‐capacity, clathrin‐, and dynamin‐independent route for nutrient and membrane‐anchored cargo uptake of DNA. This overview highlights its molecular mechanisms, regulation, cellular roles, and relevance to mechanophysical DNA transfection.

Fundamental Neurochemistry Review: Sphingolipids and Ceramides in Brain Development. [PDF]
Ceramides and sphingolipids in brain development and cell compartments. Ceramides and sphingolipids are known to influence multiple steps of brain development, including the formation of the neural tube, neural stem cell polarity and proliferation at the ventricular boundary, neuronal migration—for example, whilst migrating on radial glial processes ...

Neural tube closure: cellular, molecular and biomechanical mechanisms. [PDF]
Neural tube closure has been studied for many decades, across a range of vertebrates, as a paradigm of embryonic morphogenesis. Neurulation is of particular interest in view of the severe congenital malformations - 'neural tube defects' - that result ...

Secretory pathway of trypanosomatid parasites [PDF]
The Trypanosomatidae comprise a large group of parasitic protozoa, some of which cause important diseases in humans. These include Tryanosoma brucei (the causative agent of African sleeping sickness and nagana in cattle), Trypanosoma cruzi (the causative

Folate-targeted nanoparticles for rheumatoid arthritis therapy [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common inflammatory rheumatic disease, affecting almost 1% of the world population. Although the cause of RA remains unknown, the complex interaction between immune mediators (cytokines and effector cells) is ...
