CONVERSION OF GERM CELLS TO SOMATIC CELL TYPES IN C. ELEGANS

Conversion of Germ Cells to Somatic Cell Types in C. elegans

The potential of a cell to produce all types of differentiated cells in an organism is termed totipotency.Totipotency is an essential property of germ cells, which constitute the germline and pass on the parental genetic material to the progeny.The potential of germ cells to give rise to a whole organism has been the subject of intense research for

Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry discharge factor 3 is essential for invasion and microtubule-associated vesicle biogenesis.

Rhoptries are specialized secretory organelles conserved across the Apicomplexa phylum, essential for host cell invasion and critical for subverting of host cellular and immune functions.They contain proteins and membranous materials injected directly into the host cells, participating in parasitophorous vacuole formation.Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoi

Numerical and experimental investigation on the effect of retrograde vaporization on fines migration and drift in porous oil reservoir: roles of phase change heat transfer and saturation

Abstract Retrograde vaporization effects on oil production are nearly unprecedented to reservoir engineering community, and its relation to formation damage should be explored.For this purpose, this paper elucidates the importance and role of this phenomenon and its phase change heat transfer (PCHT) on fines migration and subsequent, permeability d

Aquaporin-7: A Dynamic Aquaglyceroporin With Greater Water and Glycerol Permeability Than Its Bacterial Homolog GlpF

Xenopus oocytes expressing human aquaporin-7 (AQP7) exhibit greater osmotic water permeability and 3H-glycerol uptake vs.those expressing the bacterial glycerol facilitator GlpF.AQP7-expressing oocytes exposed to increasing extracellular [glycerol] under isosmolal conditions exhibit increasing swelling rates, whereas GlpF-expressing oocytes do not
