Ultrasmall nanoparticles are often grouped under the broad umbrella term of “nanoparticles”
when reported in the literature. However, for biomedical applications, their small sizes give …

Fibrin plays an essential role in hemostasis as both the primary product of the coagulation
cascade and the ultimate substrate for fibrinolysis. Fibrinolysis efficiency is greatly …

Les cavéoles ont été décrites pour la première fois il ya environ 50 ans. Pendant plusieurs

The plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is not a simple sheet of lipids and proteins but is
differentiated into subdomains with crucial functions. Caveolae, small pits in the plasma …

Caveolae are submicroscopic, plasma membrane pits that are abundant in many
mammalian cell types. The past few years have seen a quantum leap in our understanding …

Background As a novel type of noncoding RNAs, covalently closed circular RNAs
(circRNAs) are ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotes. Emerging studies have related …

Extracellular proteins bound to cell-surface receptors can change nuclear gene expression
patterns in minutes, with far-reaching consequences for development, cell growth and …

This article is part of a Special Issue “Estradiol and cognition”. Over the past 30 years,
research has demonstrated that estrogens not only are important for female reproduction …

▪ Abstract Recent studies showing that detergent-resistant membrane fragments can be
isolated from cells suggest that biological membranes are not always in a liquid-crystalline …

The microvascular endothelial cell monolayer localized at the critical interface between the
blood and vessel wall has the vital functions of regulating tissue fluid balance and supplying …
