1. Intracellular Uptake and Membrane Binding of Cell-penetrating Peptides: The Influence of Arginines, Tryptophans and Proteoglycans
Abstract : One of the major limitations in the realization of functional gene therapy is efficient intracellular transport of the therapeutic macromolecules. Amongst several different techniques, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as promising candidates for this purpose. READ MORE

2. Studies of membrane-binding proteins involved in synaptic vesicle recycling
Abstract : Signaling between neurons occurs at synapses. A presynaptic nerve terminal releases neurotransmitter, which diffuses over the synaptic cleft, and binds to postsynaptic receptors. Release occurs by fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane. READ MORE

3. Anticoagulant protein C--structural and functional studies
Abstract : Anticoagulant protein C is a vitamin K-dependent factor circulating in plasma as a zymogen of a serine protease. It is converted to its active form (APC) by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex on the surface of endothelial cells. APC inhibits the generation of thrombin by selective proteolytic inactivation procoagulant factors Va and VIIIa. READ MORE

5. The function of annexin I in human neutrophils. Studies of membrane binding
Abstract : The neutrophil granulocyte plays an important role in host defense against infections induced by invading microorganisms. The defense mechanism is dependent on the migration of neutrophils from the blood stream to the infected area, where the intruder is phagocytosed and killed. READ MORE
