From the cytosol to the inner membrane: biogenesis of the mitochondrial carrier family
Abstract Mitochondrial carrier proteins are essential for cellular physiology as they are active in a wide range of metabolic pathways including production of cellular energy, amino acid synthesis, redox balance and ion homeostasis. The double membrane of mitochondria provides a tightly gated environment through which carrier proteins facilitate the ...

The Relationship Between Immune Semaphorins and Myasthenia Gravis
Serum alterations of immune‐related semaphorins in myasthenia gravis. Patients exhibited decreased semaphorin 4A and increased semaphorin 7A levels compared with healthy controls. These changes highlight disturbed immune regulation in myasthenia gravis and support the involvement of semaphorin‐mediated pathways in autoimmune neuromuscular junction ...
