Autophagy is an intracellular system that degrades cytosolic proteins and organelles. Autophagy can be divided into three groups: macroautophagy, microautophagy and chaperon-mediated autophagy (CMA). Macroautophagy is most extensively studied and best known among the three pathways. When macroautophagy is induced, an isolation membrane encloses a portion of cytoplasm, forming a characteristic ...
Disambiguation The process of stimulating the Vagus Nerve with micropulses of electrical current is referred to in a number of different ways. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) - Typically refers to stimulation of the nerve with a surgically implanted device and electrode. Non-invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS, taVNS, nVNS, LLTS) - Refers to stimulation of the vagus nerve without ...
Currently, no reliable methods and no suitable marker profile exist that could predict radiosensitivity in patients. This paper describes the irradiation response of lymphocytes, fibroblasts and tumour biopsies cultured in vitro, clonogenic survival at 2 Gy (SF2), chromosomal aberrations, and CD4 and CD8 lymphocyte apoptosis. The results, and other accumulating evidence, strongly suggest that ...
