The microanatomy of the intestinal epithelium in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (CST) was studied by light and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The small intestinal epithelium (SIE) was single layered or pseudostratified. The enterocytes contained mitochondria or mitochondria and lipid droplets. The enterocytes were arranged tightly in the apical parts of epithelium and connected by des...

A novel near-infrared phosphorescent iridium(iii) complex was developed for cell mitochondria-targeted imaging and photodynamic therapy in vivo.

Eleven published articles (4 reviews, 7 research papers) are collected in the Special Issue entitled “Organelle Genetics Plants.” This selection of papers covers a wide range topics related to chloroplasts and plant mitochondria research: (i) organellar gene expression (OGE) and, more specifically, chloroplast RNA editing soybean, editing, intron splicing soybean during nodulation, as well stud...

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Podocytes are essential components of the glomerular filtration barrier and for proper function glomerulus. Podocyte injury under various stress conditions is primary pathogenesis key determinant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) with prominent clinical manifestations proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome. <b><i>Summary:</i&gt...

Mitochondria are indispensable for energy metabolism, apoptosis regulation, and cell signaling. Mitochondria in malignant cells differ structurally and functionally from those in normal cells and participate actively in metabolic reprogramming. Mitochondria in cancer cells are characterized by reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction, which promotes cancer development by inducing genomic in...

Nowadays, aging is the actual theme above world. Scientists are working on to prevent aging. In this article, we discuss how Urolithin effects human body and process. A (UA) a natural compound produced by gut bacteria from ingested ellagitannins (ETs) ellagic acid (EA), complex polyphenols abundant in foods such as pomegranate, berries, nuts. Mitochondria play crucial role cellular function par...

Cardiovascular diseases take a leading position in the structure of mortality modern society. Most are characterized by uncontrolled processes oxidative stress, proteolysis, tissue and cellular hypoxia, which cause endothelial dysfunction. Tissue hypoxia accumulated with mitochondrial reactive forms oxygen damaging lipoproteins, proteins, nucleic acids plays an important role pathogenesis vascu...

The intensity of free-radical processes in the skeletal muscles rats at different dietary supply with protein and sucrose was studied. It has been established that most pronounced intensification free radical mitochondria is found animals kept on a low-protein/ high-sucrose diet. In particular, generation superoxide anion-radical increases more than 5,3-fold hydroxyl 3,2-fold compared control, ...

We examined the morphological changes in mitochondria, mitochondrial nucleoids (mt-nucleoids), and actin cytoskeleton yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae during transition from anaerobic to aerobic culture by immunofluorescence microscopy, DAPI staining, rhodamine-phalloidin staining. The cells grown anaerobically stationary phase contained a small number of 7.3 per cell on average. When were transf...

Pioglitazone (PG) is one of thiazolidinediones used for the treatment of type II diabetes mellitus. Some reports of its hepatotoxicity exist, but the mechanism of its hepatotoxicity is not well known. In the present study, the protective effect of some ATP suppliers are investigated against mitochondrial toxicity of PG in isolated rat mitochondria. Mitochondrial viability was investigated by MT...
