EVALUATION OF THE AVAILABLE CHOLESTEROL CONCENTRATION IN THE INNER LEAFLET OF THE PLASMA MEMBRANE OF MAMMALIAN CELLS

Evaluation of the available cholesterol concentration in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane of mammalian cells

Cholesterol is an essential component of the mammalian plasma membrane involved in diverse cellular processes.Our recent quantitative imaging analysis using ratiometric cholesterol sensors showed that the available cholesterol concentration in the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (IPM) is low in unstimulated cells and increased in a stimulus-sp

Putative genome features of relic green alga-derived nuclei in dinoflagellates and future perspectives as model organisms

Nucleomorphs, relic endosymbiont nuclei, have been studied as a model to elucidate the evolutionary process of integrating a eukaryotic endosymbiont into a host cell organelle.Recently, we reported two new dinoflagellates possessing nucleomorphs, and proposed them soderhamn ottoman cover as new models in this research field based on the following f
