Raw Data for "Daily Mitochondrial Mitochondrial Dynamics in Cone Photoreceptors"
(2020-10-15)Cone photoreceptors in the retina are exposed to intense daylight, and have higher energy demands in darkness. Cones produce energy using a large cluster of mitochondria. Mitochondria are susceptible to oxidative damage, ... -
Parkin-deficient mice are not more sensitive to 6-hydroxydopamine or methamphetamine neurotoxicity
(2005)Background: Autosomal recessive juvenile parkinsonism (AR-JP) is caused by mutations in the parkin gene which encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Parkin is thought to be critical for protecting dopaminergic neurons ... -
Age- and calorie-independent life span extension from dietary restriction by bacterial deprivation in Caenorhabditis elegans
(2008-05-05)Background: Dietary restriction (DR) increases life span and delays age-associated disease in many organisms. The mechanism by which DR enhances longevity is not well understood. Results: Using bacterial food deprivation ... -
Notch signaling through Tramtrack bypasses the mitosis promoting activity of the JNK pathway in the mitotic-to-endocycle transition of Drosophila follicle cells
(2006-03-16)Background: The follicle cells of the Drosophila egg chamber provide an excellent model in which to study modulation of the cell cycle. During mid-oogenesis, the follicle cells undergo a variation of the cell cycle, ...
