The gene regulation of mRNA degradation mediated by elements rich in adenine and uracil bases (ARE) is important both in cellular and physiological proliferation in the immune response and cardiovascular tone. One of the ARE binding proteins is the...
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) eliminate virus-infected tumor cells or alloantigen through a lyric mechanism, which involves the secretion of a cytoplasmic granules containing cytotoxic proteins, perforin and granzymes, of which the two most important are...
Questions about the origin and definition of life can be answered from different perspectives: thermodynamics, physiological, metabolic, biochemical or genetic. The latter focuses on the characterization of information flows and nucleic acids and proteins...
The human genome sequence has been a breakthrough for modern biology, a milestone similar to the discovery of the structure of the DNA chain or by the assumption that each gene codes for a protein. Despite its importance, and our current view of biology,...
