  • To investigate this question, the researchers collaborated with Pierre Genevaux and Marie-Pierre Castanié from the University of Toulouse and limited the number of chaperones available in the cell by using knock-out models. (izb-online.de)

  • The properties of human enzymes produced in yeast and in their native human cells were remarkably similar, supporting the value of the new humanised yeast as models for human cells. (tudelft.nl)
  • Human CYP450 enzymes, naturally bound to livers' endoplasmic reticular (ER) membranes, are used for drug-metabolism studies and commercially produced from genetically engineered insect/bacterial cells. (oreilly.com)
  • These results suggest that yeast cells, cheap and easy to grow, could provide an ideal environment for bulk production of highly active human CYP microsomal enzymes so that they could be used more widely than they are now. (oreilly.com)
  • 1 For example, they contain membrane-bound subcellular organelles and possess a similar cytoskeletal organization. (the-scientist.com)
  • Similar multi-tiered strategies could be used for any micronutrient in which concentrations and metabolic forms have been determined in different organelles within a growing eukaryotic cell. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Previously, Daran-Lapujade's group succeeded in engineering artificial chromosomes that work as a DNA platform for building new functions into yeast. (tudelft.nl)
  • Daran-Lapujade's lab took human DNA (in red) encoding core functions in muscle cells, and inserted it into the DNA (chromosomes in purple) of a yeast cell (in yellow). (tudelft.nl)
  • Similar to glucose in structure, D-mannose is a naturally occurring sugar that is found in a number of fruits, including apples, blueberries, and cranberries. (chriskresser.com)
  • The immunoreactivity levels of well-characterized antibodies, for all major retinal cells and their compartments, were obtained using our established semiquantitative confocal and imaging techniques. (molvis.org)
  • Keep your yeast healthy and happy with the nutrients it needs to make great beer! (morebeer.com)
  • For their growth, cells need various nutrients and vitamins. (prohealth.com)
  • By accurately quantitatively measuring certain nutrients in the cells, we found that the presence of SLC25A51 correlated with the amount of NAD and that cells lacking SLC25A51 had extremely low levels of this molecule in their mitochondria," explains senior author Giulio Superti-Furga.

  • The tubules are all made of the same water-repellant fatty membrane that surrounds the cell, separating their interior from the watery cytoplasm. (alzforum.org)
  • Many are taken in by endocytosis, sinking into pits in the membrane that pinch off to form vesicles that drop into the cell, where they are known as early endosomes. (alzforum.org)
  • During CME, cells deform the plasma membrane locally and subsequently pinch off a vesicle into the cytoplasm. (biorxiv.org)
  • It damaged the cells' ability to prevent the oxygen leaks that create free radicals. (dairyreporter.com)
  • It is quite possible that other cells, such as human cells, demonstrate a similar stress reaction to illumination from a microscope. (expertsvar.se)
  • We performed more than 175 edits in human cells, including targeted insertions, deletions, and all 12 types of point mutation, without requiring double-strand breaks or donor DNA templates. (nature.com)

  • Yeast cells are similar to human cells in many respects, and Karin Lindkvist's research can have applications in cancer research and other fields. (expertsvar.se)
  • Now that we understand the full process, medical scientists can use this humanised yeast model as a tool for drug screening and cancer research," Daran-Lapujade says. (tudelft.nl)
  • In a second study, the team looked into the relationship between YCW structure and immune benefits in an animal model for vertebrates (Zebrafish), highlighting the different functionalities of distinct yeast products. (lallemandanimalnutrition.com)
