Association of intracellular and synaptic organization in cochlear inner hair cells revealed by 3D electron microscopy [PDF]
, 2015 The ways in which cell architecture is modelled to meet cell function is a poorly understood facet of cell biology. To address this question, we have studied the cytoarchitecture of a cell with highly specialised organisation, the cochlear inner hair ...

Use of the gills of Pimelodus maculatus (Lacèpéde, 1803) (Siluriformes, Pimelodidae) as a biomarker of pollution in the reservoir of UHE Marechal Mascarenhas de Moraes, Minas Gerais, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2011 The gills of fish are biomarkers of environmental toxicity which are often used to assess the impacts of xenobiotics. This study aims to evaluate the contamination of the reservoir Marechal Mascarenhas de Moraes, through the estimation ofthe rate of ...

Distribution of Serotonergic Transporter Innervation in the Nucleus Accumbens and Ventral Pallidum Is Highly Conserved Among Primates. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolWe quantified serotonin transporter (SERT) axon length density in the reward pathway of 13 primate species. Serotonergic innervation density within both the nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum is highly conserved among species, in contrast to our previous findings of human‐specific differences in dopaminergic and neuropeptide Y innervation ...

Chronic alcohol consumption and withdrawal do not induce cell death in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, but lead to irreversible depression of peptide immunoreactivity and mRNA levels [PDF]
, 1997 There is evidence that chronic ethanol treatment (CET) disrupts the biological rhythms of various brain functions and behaviors. Because the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is widely recognized as the dominant pacemaker of the circadian system, we have ...

Strategies for maximizing ATP supply in the microsporidian Encephalitozoon cuniculi: direct binding of mitochondria to the parasitophorous vacuole and clustering of the mitochondrial porin VDAC [PDF]
, 2013 Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites with extremely reduced genomes and a dependence on host-derived ATP. The microsporidium Encephalitozoon cuniculi proliferates within a membranous vacuole and we investigated how the ATP supply is ...
