EPHA2 is associated with age-related cortical cataract in mice and humans.

PLoS genetics 2009 📊 160

Age-related cataract is a major cause of blindness worldwide, and cortical cataract is the second most prevalent type of age-related cataract. Although a significant fraction...

⭐ Foundational

Salmonella trafficking is defined by continuous dynamic interactions with the endolysosomal system.

Traffic (Copenhagen, Denmark) 2007 📊 161

Following invasion of non‐phagocytic host cells, Salmonella enterica survives and replicates within a phagosome‐like compartment known as the Salmonella ‐containing vacuole (SCV). It is now...

Dietary levels of pure flavonoids improve spatial memory performance and increase hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

PloS one 2013 📊 174

Evidence suggests that flavonoid-rich foods are capable of inducing improvements in memory and cognition in animals and humans. However, there is a lack of clarity...

⭐ Foundational

Mitochondrial division occurs concurrently with autophagosome formation but independently of Drp1 during mitophagy.

The Journal of cell biology 2016 📊 194

Mitophagy is thought to play an important role in mitochondrial quality control. Mitochondrial division is believed to occur first, and autophagosome formation subsequently occurs to...

⭐ Foundational

Direct lysosome-based autophagy of lipid droplets in hepatocytes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2020 📊 216

Hepatocytes metabolize energy-rich cytoplasmic lipid droplets (LDs) in the lysosome-directed process of autophagy. An organelle-selective form of this process (macrolipophagy) results in the engulfment of...

⭐ Foundational

IFITM3 directly engages and shuttles incoming virus particles to lysosomes.

Nature chemical biology 2019 📊 217

Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs 1, 2 and 3) have emerged as important innate immune effectors that prevent diverse virus infections in vertebrates. However, the cellular...
