CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AUTOPHAGY MARKER PROTEIN ATG8 REVEALS ATYPICAL FEATURES OF AUTOPHAGY IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM.

Characterization of the autophagy marker protein Atg8 reveals atypical features of autophagy in Plasmodium falciparum.

Conventional autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation process that has crucial homeostatic and regulatory functions in eukaryotic organisms.As malaria parasites must dispose a number of self and host cellular contents, we investigated if autophagy in malaria parasites is similar to the conventional autophagy.Genome wide analysis revealed a par

Novel Visceral-Anastomosis-First Approach in Open Repair of a Ruptured Type 2 Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Causes behind a Mortal Outcome

Case reports to analyze causes and possible prevention of complications in a new setting are important.We present an open repair of a ruptured type 2 thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm in a 78-year-old man.Lower-body perfusion through a temporary extracorporeal axillobifemoral arterial prosthesis shunt was combined with the Hoof Clippers use of a bra

Transfer of immunoglobulins through the mammary endothelium and epithelium and in the local lymph node of cows during the initial response after intramammary challenge with E. coli endotoxin

Abstract Background The first hours after antigen stimulation, interactions occur influencing the outcome of the immunological reaction.Immunoglobulins originate in blood and/or are locally synthesized.The transfer of Ig isotypes (Igs) in the udder has been studied previously but without the possibility to distinguish between the endothelium and th
