The linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex is a protein complex spanning the inner and outer membranes of the nuclear envelope. Outer nuclear membrane KASH proteins interact in the nuclear envelope lumen with inner nuclear membrane SUN ...

Anti-inflammatory effects of yeast-derived vacuoles on LPS-induced murine macrophage activation
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a single-celled fungal microorganism. S. cerevisiae-derived vacuoles are closely related to mammalian lysosomes, which play a role in the degradation of macromolecules by various hydrolytic enzymes.

Vacuoles in Bryophytes: Properties, Biogenesis, and Evolution
Vacuoles are the most conspicuous organelles in plants for their indispensable functions in cell expansion, solute storage, water balance, etc. Extensive studies on angiosperms have revealed that a set of conserved core molecular machineries orchestrate ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa utilizes the type III secreted toxin ExoS to avoid acidified compartments within epithelial cells. [PDF]
Invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) can enter epithelial cells wherein they mediate formation of plasma membrane bleb-niches for intracellular compartmentalization.

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut
Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Ro 31‐8220 suppresses bladder cancer progression via enhancing autophagy in vitro and in vivo
The pan‐protein kinase C inhibitor Ro‐31‐8220 demonstrates potent anti‐bladder cancer effects both in vitro and in vivo by suppressing migration/invasion, inducing apoptosis and crucially activating autophagy, where blocking autophagy with chloroquine reduces its cell‐killing efficacy, suggesting its promise as a novel therapeutic candidate requiring ...

Sphingoid base structures, the sphingolipid backbones, vary among species. We established yeast cells in which the native sphingoid base was replaced with plant‐type bases containing cis or trans double bonds. This is, to our knowledge, the first eukaryotic model mostly composed of sphingolipids containing cis‐unsaturated sphingoid base, providing a ...

During the development of malaria parasites within human erythrocytes, the fusion of digestive vesicles gives rise to a large digestive vacuole (DV). This organelle, which is maintained at low pH, processes 60-80 percent of the erythrocyte hemoglobin to provide a pool of amino acids that is crucial for parasite growth and development.
