In the liver and the yolk sack of 6-12 week postfertilization human embryos, we have detected RNA transcripts from the following apolipoprotein genes: AI, AII, B, CII, CIII and E. The mRNA from the apolipoprotein CIII gene was relatively more abundant in the total RNA from the yolk sack than in that from the liver. The gut and adrenals contained transcripts of all these apolipoprotein genes apa...

Developmental axon pruning is essential for wiring the mature nervous system, but its regulation remains poorly understood. Here we show that the endosomal-lysosomal pathway regulates developmental pruning of Drosophila mushroom body γ neurons. We demonstrate that the UV radiation resistance-associated gene (UVRAG) functions together with all core components of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase...

We study the mean properties of a large representative sample 217 galaxies showing CIII] emission at $2<z<4$, selected from parent $\sim$750 main-sequence star-forming in VANDELS survey. These emitters have broad range UV luminosities, thus allowing detailed stacking analysis to characterize their stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR) and metallicity, as function line ratios, EWs, carbon-to-o...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cell. They produce a significant amount energy we need to grow, survive and reproduce. The same system that generates in form ATP also produces Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Mitochondrial (mtROS) were considered for many years toxic by-products metabolism, responsible ageing degenerative diseases. Today, know mtROS essential redox messengers required determi...

The CIII and CIV lines in the [WC9] spectrum of BD+303639 show variable features, interpreted in terms of radiative acceleration of “blobs” forming in the wind. The variations are like those observed for theWC9massive stars, and the blobs acceleration appears smaller than for the [WC8] nucleus of NGC 40.

The ion temperature was estimated using measurements provided by optical system based on the two-grating spectrometer on the COMPASS tokamak. It was done by analysis of Doppler-broadened CIII spectral lines at about 465 nm. The ion temperature in the range of 30–35 eV was measured at the plasma edge in short low-current ohmic discharges.

The plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) mediates the exchange of HDL cholesteryl esters with triglycerides of other lipoproteins. Subsequent lipolysis of the triglyceride-enriched HDL by hepatic lipase leads to reductions of HDL size and apoA-I content. To investigate a possible modulation of the effects of CETP by apoA-II, human CETP transgenic mice were cross-bred with transgenic...
