The interesting article by CHINN et al. [1] explored the relationship of transfer factor (TL) or diffusing capacity to alveolar volume (VA) within normal subjects at different depths of inspiration and between normal subjects having lungs of different sizes, and found that the ratio TL/VA (often called the carbon monoxide transfer coefficient (KCO)) varied with VA itself (i.e. lung size) as wel...

Physiologically, melanocytes produce and store melanin pigments in the melanosomes, which are transported to the cell periphery and transferred to keratinocytes, a process that requires the tripartite complex Rab27a/melanophilin/myosin-Va (Hume ...
