We present an optical approach for intracellular delivery of molecules contained within oxidation-sensitive polymersomes. The photosensitizer ethyl eosin is associated with the polymersome membrane to oxidatively increase the hydrophilicity of the hydropho ...
Integration of experimental measurements of intracellular metabolite concentrations in genome scale models restricts the thermodynamically feasible flux space and reduces uncertainty regarding the net outcome of by-directional reactions. By combining tFBA, ...
Cellular metabolism is the driving force of all living cells and organisms. Numerous research projects undertaken over the past century have attempted to decipher the function and operating principles of metabolism with varying degrees of success. A wide s ...
Mitochondrial disorders are highly heterogeneous conditions characterized by defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Pharmacological activation of mitochondrial biogenesis has been proposed as an effective means to correct the biochemical defects a ...
The broad resonances underlying the entire (1) H NMR spectrum of the brain, ascribed to macromolecules, can influence metabolite quantification. At the intermediate field strength of 3 T, distinct approaches for the determination of the macromolecule signa ...
Cytosolic DNA arising from intracellular bacterial or viral infections is a powerful pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that leads to innate immune host defence by the production of type I interferon and inflammatory cytokines. Recognition of cyt ...
Single particle tracking can reveal dynamic information at the scale of single molecules in living cells but thus far has been limited either in the range of potential protein targets or in the quality and number of tracks attainable. We demonstrate a new ...
The increasing availability of large metabolomics datasets enhances the need for computational methodologies that can organize the data in a way that can lead to the inference of meaningful relationships. Metabolic models comprising the entirety of reactio ...
Cellular cytidine deaminases from the APOBEC3 family are potent restriction factors able to block the replication of retroviruses. Consequently, retroviruses have evolved a variety of different mechanisms to counteract inhibition by APOBEC3 proteins. Lenti ...
Ferritin plays a central role in iron metabolism and is made of 24 subunits of 2 types: heavy chain and light chain. The ferritin heavy chain (FtH) has ferroxidase activity that is required for iron incorporation and limiting toxicity. The purpose of this ...
