(2017-05-03)Chromogranin A (CgA) belongs to the granin family of uniquely acidic secretory that are ubiquitous in secretory cells of the nervous, endocrine, immune system. Numerous cleavage products of the granins have been identified, ... -
Structure/function relationships of the human heterodimeric amino acids transporter 4F2hc/LAT1
(2017-06-09)Amino acids transport in mammalian cells is mediated by different amino acid transporters whose activity allow the flow of an important source for metabolic need of cells. Moreover, some amino acids such as Gln, Arg and ... -
Investigating how movement affects prey camouflage using an insect predator
(2019-06-09)Patterns that help prey camouflage themselves whilst stationary prove to be ineffective once prey move. Given that motion breaks camouflage, can a moving prey ever be effectively concealed? Recent studies have found that ... -
Weathering ed esumazione di rocce plutoniche del massiccio della Sila durante il quaternario
(2018-05-11)I sedimenti sono il risultato dell’alterazione meccanica e biogeochimica delle rocce, dovuti agli stress tettonici e ai fenomeni di weathering in una determinata area sorgente (Hinderer, 2012). La natura e l’intensità del ... -
