Mesoscale computational studies of membrane bilayer remodeling by curvature-inducing proteins [PDF]
Biological membranes constitute boundaries of cells and cell organelles. Physico-chemical mechanisms at the atomic scale are dictated by protein-lipid interaction strength, lipid composition, lipid distribution in the vicinity of the protein, shape and amino acid composition of the protein, and its amino acid contents.

PGC‐1α Activation by Polyphenols: A Pathway to Thermogenesis
Polyphenols, derived from dietary sources such as berries, undergo digestion and interact with gut microbiota, leading to their metabolization in the liver. This process influences bile acid composition, which in turn activates PGC1α, a key regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis and thermogenesis.

Intestinal gluconeogenesis and glucose transport according to body fuel availability in rats [PDF]
Intestinal hexose absorption and gluconeogenesis have been studied in relation to refeeding after two different fasting phases: a long period of protein sparing during which energy expenditure is derived from lipid oxidation (phase II), and a later phase characterized by a rise in plasma corticosterone triggering protein catabolism (phase III).

The kinetics of sterol transport between the plasma membrane and the endocytic recycling compartment is measured using fluorescence microscopy. STARD4, a small, soluble sterol transport protein, is responsible for 25% of the total transport and 33% of ...

Near‐Infrared Fluorescent Single‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biosensing
Near‐infrared fluorescent single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) stand out as versatile biosensors due to their spectral overlap with the biological transparency window, surface‐sensitive fluorescence emission, and chemical modularity. This review offers a concise guide to understanding the photophysics of SWCNTs, various functionalization strategies,

Neurotransmitter release: Variations on a theme [PDF]
Similarities between the ways that synaptic vesicles and large dense-core vesicles release their contents have been emphasized, but recent studies have revealed important mechanistic differences between these two exocytotic ...

Understanding the molecular pharmacology of the serotonergic system : using fluoxetine as a model [PDF]
Objectives: Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter that is widely distributed in the body and plays an important role in a variety of psychological and other body functions such as mood, sexual desire and function, appetite, sleep, memory and learning,
