The SufBCD Fe-S scaffold complex interacts with SufA for Fe-S cluster transfer.

8 Nov 2009 Iron-sulfur clusters are key iron cofactors in biological pathways ranging from nitrogen fixation to respiration. Because of the toxicity of ferrous iron and sulfide to the cell, in vivo Fe-S cluster assembly transpires via multiprotein biosynthetic ... Read more...

Pressure autoregulation, intracranial pressure, and brain tissue oxygenation in children with severe traumatic brain injury.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Cerebral pressure autoregulation is an important neuroprotective mechanism that stabilizes cerebral blood flow when blood pressure (BP) changes. In this study the authors examined the association between autoregulation and clinical factors, ... Read more...

Intestinal mucosal barrier function in health and disease.

30 Oct 2009 Mucosal surfaces are lined by epithelial cells. These cells establish a barrier between sometimes hostile external environments and the internal milieu. However, mucosae are also responsible for nutrient absorption and waste secretion, which require ... Read more...
