Comparative study of Zn-phytoextraction potential in guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) and sesame (Sesamum indicum L.): tolerance and accumulation

Geology, Ecology, and Landscapes, 2018
Phytoextraction is a plant-based technique for removing heavy metals from polluted soil. The experiment reported in this paper was undertaken to study the Zn phytoextraction potential of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba in comparison with Sesamum indicum in the ...

Polymer translocation induced by adsorption

, 1998
We study the translocation of a flexible polymer through a pore in a membrane induced by its adsorption on \trans side of the membrane. When temperature $T$ is higher than $T_c$, the adsorption-desorption transition temperature, attractive interaction ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Chaperone driven polymer translocation through Nanopore: spatial distribution and binding energy

, 2016
Chaperones are binding proteins which work as a driving force to bias the biopolymer translocation by binding to it near the pore and preventing its backsliding. Chaperones may have different spatial distribution. Recently we show the importance of their

Lipid raft microdomain compartmentalization of TC10 is required for insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation. [PDF]

, 2001
Recent studies indicate that insulin stimulation of glucose transporter (GLUT)4 translocation requires at least two distinct insulin receptor-mediated signals: one leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase and the other to the ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

A translocation-competent pore is required for Shigella flexneri to escape from the double membrane vacuole during intercellular spread

mBio
Type 3 secretion systems (T3SSs) enable bacterial virulence by translocating virulence proteins (effectors) into host cells. Shigella flexneri requires T3SS to invade and to spread between cells in the colon. To spread, S.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phytoavailability of Geogenic Arsenic and Its Partitioning in Soil: a Case Of Study in a Thermal Area of Central Italy

EQA, 2016
Arsenic (As) is an ubiquitous metalloid that is introduced into the environment from both anthropogenic and geochemical sources. The As can be introduced in food chain through plants grown on polluted soil and/or contaminated irrigation water.
