Cholesterol Enzyme Found on Lipid Droplets
Researchers have used labeled proteins in conjunction with confocal microscopy to show that the NSDHL (NAD(P)H steroid dehydrogenase-like) enzyme, which is involved in cholesterol synthesis, is located on the surface of endoplasmic reticulum derived lipid droplets. More...15 Dec 2003
Ion Channel Hyperactivity Needed for Egg Fertilization
Researchers studying reproduction at the level of sperm cell metabolism have found that an ion channel protein is required to maintain the state of hyperactivation that enables the sperm to penetrate the egg cell's extracellular matrix More...15 Dec 2003
Mandibular Condyle Created from Rat Stem Cells
In a new feat of tissue engineering, a team of clinicians, dentists, surgeons, cell biologists, and materials scientists has created a mandibular condyle from rat stem cells that is the precise three-dimensional shape of the human joint. More...11 Dec 2003
