BACKGROUND:TRP channels function as key mediators of sensory transduction and other cellular signaling pathways.In Drosophila, TRP and TRPL are the light-activated channels in photoreceptors.While TRP is statically localized in the signaling compartment of the cell (the rhabdomere), TRPL localization is regulated by light.TRPL channels translocate
Abstract Introduction A pancreatic pseudocyst is a common sequela of severe acute pancreatitis.Commonly, it presents with abdominal pain and a mass in the epigastrium several weeks after the acute episode and can be managed conservatively, endoscopically or surgically.We report a patient with a pancreatic pseudocyst awaiting endoscopic therapy who
In natural product research, microbial metabolites have tremendous potential to provide new therapeutic agents since extremely diverse chemical structures can be found in the nearly infinite microbial population.Conventionally, these specialized metabolites are screened by single-strain cultures.However, owing to the lack of biotic and abiotic inte
Cytop is a commercially available amorphous fluoropolymer with excellent characteristics including electric insulation, water and oil repellency, chemical resistance, and moisture-proof property, making it an attractive material as hydrophobic layers in electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) devices.However, its highly hydrophobic surface makes it dif
