Autophagy protein LC3C binding to phospholipid and interaction with lipid membranes
(Elsevier, 2022-05-23)
Autophagy is a process in which parts of the eukaryotic cell are selectively degraded in the lysosome. The materials to be catabolized are first surrounded by a double-membrane structure, the autophagosome. Autophagosome ...
Liquid-crystalline, liquid-ordered, rippled and gel lipid bilayer phases as observed with nile red fluorescence
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The basic matrix of cellular membranes consists of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids. Semisynthetic lipid bilayers are commonly used in biophysical studies of membranes. According to tem-perature and composition, ...
Skid resistance prediction for new two-lane roads
(ICE Publishing, 2019-10)
[EN]Skid resistance is a vital issue in pavement management, mainly in relation to road safety; hence, road agencies must assure a minimum friction level of their road networks. The regional government of Biscay (Spain) ...
The triacylglycerol, hydroxytriolein, inhibits triple negative mammary breast cancer cell proliferation through a mechanism dependent on dihydroceramide and Akt
(Impact Journals, 2019-04-02)
The plasma membrane is an attractive target for new anticancer drugs, not
least because regulating its lipid structure can control multiple signaling pathways
involved in cancer cell proliferation, differentiation and ...
Accumulated Bending Energy Elicits Neutral Sphingomyelinase Activity in Human Red Blood Cells
(Elservier, 2012-05-02)
[EN] We propose that accumulated membrane bending energy elicits a neutral sphingomyelinase (SMase) activity in human erythrocytes. Membrane bending was achieved by osmotic or chemical processes, and SMase activity was ...
The IHG index for hydromorphological quality assessment of rivers and streams: updated version
(AIL, 2011)
[EN]An updated version of the IHG index is presented. The index is based on three appraisal parameters: 1) the functional quality of the fluvial system, including a) flow regime naturalness, b) sediment supply and mobility, ...
Size-effect and scaling power-law for superelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys at the nano-scale
(Macmillan Publishers Limited, part of Springer Nature., 2017-05-29)
Shape-memory alloys capable of a superelastic stress-induced phase transformation and a high displacement actuation have promise for applications in micro-electromechanical systems for wearable healthcare and flexible ...
The effect of hydroxylated fatty acid-containing phospholipids in the remodeling of lipid membranes
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-24)
The synthetic fatty acid 2-hydroxyoleic acid (2OHOA) is an antitumor drug that regulates membrane lipid composition and structure. An important effect of this drug is the restoration of sphingomyelin (SM) levels in cancer ...
The use of gender-neutral language: Barriers and determinants
(Universidad de Santiago de Chile, 2018)
The main objective of this study is to examine the perceptions about the level of use
of gender-neutral language (GNL) in Spanish. A survey has been designed and used to
analyze the opinions of university teachers in a ...
LC3 subfamily in cardiolipin-mediated mitophagy: a comparison of the LC3A, LC3B and LC3C homologs
(Taylor & Francis, 2022-12)
Externalization of the phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) to the outer mitochondrial membrane has been proposed to act as a mitophagy trigger. CL would act as a signal for binding the LC3 macroauto-phagy/autophagy proteins. As ...
