Effects of Eccentric Exercise on Skeletal Muscle Injury: From An Ultrastructure Aspect: A Review
The contraction of skeletal muscle (SM) plays an important role in providing power for the body to participate in physical activities. Nevertheless, unaccustomed motions, especially eccentric exercises (EE), might cause changes in ultrastructure and ...

Analysis of two genomes from the mitochondrion-like organelle of the intestinal parasite Blastocystis: complete sequences, gene content, and genome organization. [PDF]
Acquisition of mitochondria by the ancestor of all living eukaryotes represented a crucial milestone in the evolution of the eukaryotic cell. Nevertheless, a number of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes have secondarily discarded certain mitochondrial ...

3-D Ultrastructure of O. tauri: Electron Cryotomography of an Entire Eukaryotic Cell [PDF]
The hallmark of eukaryotic cells is their segregation of key biological functions into discrete, membrane-bound organelles. Creating accurate models of their ultrastructural complexity has been difficult in part because of the limited resolution of light

Protein import into the endosymbiotic organelles of apicomplexan parasites [PDF]
The organelles of endosymbiotic origin, plastids, and mitochondria, evolved through the serial acquisition of endosymbionts by a host cell. These events were accompanied by gene transfer from the symbionts to the host, resulting in most of the organellar

What is the function of mitochondrial networks? A theoretical assessment of hypotheses and proposal for future research [PDF]
Mitochondria can change their shape from discrete isolated organelles to a large continuous reticulum. The cellular advantages underlying these fused networks are still incompletely understood.

BCKDH: the missing link in apicomplexan mitochondrial metabolism is required for full virulence of Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
While the apicomplexan parasites Plasmodium falciparum and Toxoplasma gondii are thought to primarily depend on glycolysis for ATP synthesis, recent studies have shown that they can fully catabolize glucose in a canonical TCA cycle.

Multi-Protection of DL0410 in Ameliorating Cognitive Defects in D-Galactose Induced Aging Mice
D-galactose has been reported to accelerate senescence in rodents, accompanied by a decline in learning and memory. We used a model of D-galactose-induced amnesia for the efficacy evaluation and pharmacologic studies of active compounds against Alzheimer’

Wound healing is seriously retarded when combined with ionizing radiation injury, because radiation-induced excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) profoundly affect cell growth and wound healing. Mitochondria play vital roles not only as cellular energy

Cytochrome oxidase subunit VI of Trypanosoma brucei is imported without a cleaved presequence and is developmentally regulated at both RNA and protein levels [PDF]
Mitochondrial respiration in the African trypanosome undergoes dramatic developmental stage regulation. This requires co-ordinated control of components encoded by both the nuclear genome and the kinetoplast, the unusual mitochondrial genome of these ...
