Claudin 11 stops the leaks
Devaux and Gow demonstrate how a tight junction protein called claudin 11 makes the neuronal myelin sheath a snug fi t. Like the rubber coating on a copper wire, the myelin sheath—a membrane extension of glial cells that spirals around the axons of neurons—creates an insulation layer that prevents current leakage from axons and aids electrical conduction along the length of the axon. Claudin 11...

Figure 1 shows the energy consumption of the upper body and head. The dark areas show body parts that use a lot of energy while resting without movement. The brain uses a lot of energy, so it appears very dark in the i...
متن کاملThe Clinical Signification of Claudin-11 Promoter Hypermethylation for Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
BACKGROUND Claudin-11 (CLDN11) is frequently silenced by its promoter hypermethylation. Previous studies have shown that CLDN11 promoter hypermethylation is a potential biomarker for diagnosing various cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate CLDN11 promoter methylation and its potential relevance to clinicopathologic features and prognosis of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carc...

متن کاملThe death stops here
The death stops here lants rely on a sensitive process of programmed cell death to curtail pathogenic infection by selectively executing infected cells. To prevent the death response from spreading to noninfected areas, cells near and at the site of infection activate autophagy, say and colleagues. In virus-infected plants that are unable to turn on autophagy, cell death spreads from the site o...
