Reversible phosphorylation is an important regulatory mechanism for many biological processes in eukaryotic organisms. The phosphorylation state of a protein is controlled dynamically by both protein kinases and phosphatases. Phosphorylatio...

Due to our own preference for bright light, we tend to forget that many insects are active in very dim light. Nocturnal insects possess in general superposition compound eyes. This eye design is truly optimized for dim light as photons can ...
Cell and molecular biology of human lacrimal gland and nasolacrimal duct mucins [0.03%]
人泪腺和鼻泪管黏蛋白的细胞及分子生物学

Friedrich Paulsen
The old concept that the lacrimal gland is only a serous gland has been superseded by the finding that lacrimal acinar cells are able to produce mucins--high-molecular-weight proteins--the major mass being carbohydrates with the common feat...

Proteomics is a major current focus of biomedical research, and location proteomics is the important branch of proteomics that systematically studies the subcellular distributions for all proteins expressed in a given cell type. Fluorescenc...

Chromosomal mosaicism is still a genetic enigma. Although the mechanisms and consequences of this phenomenon have been studied for over 50 years, there are a number of gaps in our knowledge concerning causes, genetic mechanisms, and phenoty...
Ultrastructural dynamics of human reproduction, from ovulation to fertilization and early embryo development [0.03%]
人类生殖的超微结构动力学,从排卵到受精及早期胚胎发育

This study describes the updated, fine structure of human gametes, the human fertilization process, and human embryos, mainly derived from assisted reproductive technology (ART). As clearly shown, the ultrastructure of human reproduction is...
Endogenous ligands of PACAP/VIP receptors in the autocrine-paracrine regulation of the adrenal gland [0.03%]

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) are the main endogenous ligands of a class of G protein-coupled receptors (Rs). Three subtypes of PACAP/VIP Rs have been identified and named...

Tight junctions are the most apical component of the epithelial junctional complex and are crucial for the formation and functioning of epithelial and endothelial barriers. They regulate selective diffusion of ions and solutes along the par...
Vomeronasal versus olfactory epithelium: is there a cellular basis for human vomeronasal perception? [0.03%]
犁鼻器上皮与嗅觉上皮之争:人类犁鼻器官感知的细胞基础存在吗?
Martin Witt,Thomas Hummel
Martin Witt
The vomeronasal organ (VNO) constitutes an accessory olfactory organ that receives chemical stimuli, pheromones, which elicit behavioral, reproductive, or neuroendocrine responses among individuals of the same species. In many macrosmatic a...

Pelvic ganglia contain a mixture of sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons and provide most of the motor innervation of the urogenital organs. They show a remarkable sensitivity to androgens and estrogens, which impacts on their developmen...
