Female nematodes from two cultures were examined, one of which had been maintained at East Wareham for 4 yr and the other obtained from the Department of Cell Physiology, Boston Biomedical Research Institute . Age at sacrifice for electron microscopy was de...

Early in apoptosis, mitochon-drial cristae are remodeled so that cytochrome c enters the space between the inner and outer mito-chondrial ...
متن کاملWhere Structure Meets Function
5-Hydroxytryptamine 2 (serotonin 2 , 5-HT 2 )-family receptors are important for mediating many physiological functions, including vascular and nonvascular smooth muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, modulation of perception, mood, anxiety, and feeding behavior. A large number of psychopharmaceuticals, including atypical antipsychotic drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hallucinogens,...
متن کاملWhere transcription meets repair.
DNA damage can be caused by a broad range of agents. Both environmental and cellular damage-inducing factors threaten cellular integrity largely by impinging upon two vital processes: replication and transcription. The interference of replication by DNA damage and the deleterious consequences are relatively well understood (for details see Sancar and Sancar, 1988). Significantly, DNA damage has...
