Cytokines and growth factors are essential signaling molecules that play pivotal roles in immune regulation, inflammation, tissue repair, and numerous physiological and pathological processes. ...
One such mechanism is apoptosis, a tightly regulated process vital for maintaining tissue homeostasis, development, and immune response. Apoptosis assays are valuable tools used by researchers to study the intricate details of this cellular event. ...
But the most fundamental issue still seems to be that many proteins are not recognized by animal immune systems, which generate the polyclonal sera used as reagents in these assays. ...
This paper describes established and developmental biomarkers in mussels responsive to exposure to organic contaminants, including some indicative of damage to DNA ("comet" assay) putative induction of biotransformation enzymes (CYP1A-like protein), contaminant removal (MXR-like protein), lysosomal membrane damage and impairment of membrane function.Keywords: ...
