Conditions of endoplasmic reticulum stress stimulate lipid droplet formation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

21 Oct 2009 LDs (lipid droplets) are cellular organelles which can be found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. Despite their importance in cell biology, the mechanism underlying LD biogenesis remains largely unknown. In the present study we report that conditions ... Read more...

Kinesin superfamily motor proteins and intracellular transport.

29 Sep 2009 Intracellular transport is fundamental for cellular function, survival and morphogenesis. Kinesin superfamily proteins (also known as KIFs) are important molecular motors that directionally transport various cargos, including membranous organelles, ... Read more...

Combination treatment of hydrogen peroxide and X-rays induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To study the effect of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) on radiation-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells. METHODS AND MATERIALS: At 4h before the irradiation, PC-3 cells were exposed to 10mM ammonium chloride (NH(4)Cl) ... Read more...
