Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 99, No. 4 (Feb. 19, 2002), pp. 1966-1971 (6 pages) Transport of lung liquid is essential for both normal pulmonary ...

For decades it was assumed that protein channels and protein pumps fulfilled completely different functions and worked independently of each other. Researchers have now elucidated the transport path ...

The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ...

Scheme of the transport cycle of glutamate transporters. Four states enclosed in dashed blocks represent structures observed in this work. GltTk in both apo and holo (Asp) states prefers intermediate ...

The ability of antibodies to recognize specific cancer cells is used in oncology to specifically target those cells with small active agents. Research published in the journal Angewandte Chemie shows ...

Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the growth of roots and shoots. Normally, boron, in the form of boric acid, is ...

Mineral nutrient uptake and assimilation is closely coordinated with the production of photosynthate to supply nutrients for growth. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), nitrate uptake from the soil ...

Seeking students to contribute to research exploring motor-disease protein complexes and their role in intracellular transport, as they relate to disease initiation and the aging process, and the ...

A balanced potassium household is critical for the survival of both people and bacteria. As bacteria are exposed to much greater fluctuations in environmental conditions, the controlled intake of ...
