Upon apoptotic stimuli, lysosomal proteases, including cathepsins and chymotrypsin, are released into cytosol due to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), where they trigger apoptosis via the lysosomal-mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.Herein, the mechanism of LMP was investigated.We found that caspase 8-cleaved Bid (tBid) could result in LMP
The main problem confronting the world is human-caused climate change, which is intrinsically linked to the need for energy both now and in the future.Renewable (green) energy has been proposed as a future solution, and many renewable energy technologies have been developed for different purposes.However, progress toward net zero carbon emissions b
Identifying the relations among different regions of the brain is vital for a better understanding of how the brain functions.While a large number of studies have investigated the neuroanatomical and neurochemical connections among brain structures, their specific findings are found in publications scattered over a large number of years and differe
Participants in real-time online sessions, be it (business) meetings, virtual school lessons, or social live streams, all engage in cyber social interactions.Unlike parasocial interactions, cyber social interactions are characterized by reciprocity and temporal proximity.In contrast to social interactions, they lack spatial proximity and bodily con
