autophagy is a cellular process mediating degradation of bulk cytoplasm, long-lived proteins and entire organelles. in this process, double-membrane vesicles, the autophagosomes, wrap around portions of cytosol and transport them to the lysosome for degradation. several molecules participate in autophagosome nucleation and elongation, including various components of the class iii pi3k complex, ...

Objective(s): Relevance between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relaxation rate and concentration of magnetic nanoparticles determines the capability of a nanomaterial to provide MRI contrast. In the present study, alginate was conjugated to gadolinium/graphene oxide nanocomposite to form gadolinium/graphene oxide/alginate nanocomposite, aiming to investigate its effect on the relevance betwee...
