DROSOPHILA LIPOPHORIN RECEPTORS MEDIATE THE UPTAKE OF NEUTRAL LIPIDS IN OOCYTES AND IMAGINAL DISC CELLS BY AN ENDOCYTOSIS-INDEPENDENT MECHANISM.

Drosophila lipophorin receptors mediate the uptake of neutral lipids in oocytes and imaginal disc cells by an endocytosis-independent mechanism.

Lipids are constantly shuttled through the body to redistribute energy and metabolites between sites of absorption, storage, and catabolism in a complex homeostatic equilibrium.In Drosophila, lipids are transported through the hemolymph in the form of lipoprotein particles, known as lipophorins.The mechanisms by which cells interact with CPL Filter

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Two Endangered Neotropical Parrots Inform In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation Strategies

A key aspect in the conservation of endangered populations is understanding patterns of genetic variation and structure, which can provide managers with critical information to support evidence-based status assessments and management strategies.This is especially important for species with small wild Hose Hul and larger captive populations, as foun

Non-Invasive and Minimally-Invasive Cerebral Autoregulation Assessment: A Narrative Review of Techniques and Implications for Clinical Research

The process of cerebral vessels regulating constant cerebral blood flow over a wide range of systemic arterial pressures is termed cerebral autoregulation (CA).Static and dynamic autoregulation are two types of CA measurement techniques, with the main difference between these measures relating to the time scale used.Static autoregulation looks at t
