Journal ArticleDOI
Placental steroid hormone synthesis: unique features and unanswered questions.
TL;DR: Despite the amazing diversity of placental architecture across species, a number of common elements can be found, including the ability of all placentae to synthesize and metabolize steroid hormones.
Journal ArticleDOI
MLN64 Mediates Mobilization of Lysosomal Cholesterol to Steroidogenic Mitochondria
Mei Zhang,Pei Liu,Nancy K. Dwyer,Lane K. Christenson,Toshio Fujimoto,Federico Martinez,M E Comly,John A. Hanover,E. Joan Blanchette-Mackie,Jerome F. Strauss +9 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that MLN64 participates in mobilization and utilization of lysosomal cholesterol by virtue of the START domain's role in cholesterol transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted mutation of the MLN64 START domain causes only modest alterations in cellular sterol metabolism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the Mln64 START domain in sterol metabolism was investigated in mice with a targeted mutation in the START domain, and the mutants were found to have a phenotype similar to that in humans and mice lacking NPC1 or NPC2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural and functional changes in mitochondria associated with trophoblast differentiation: methods to isolate enriched preparations of syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria.
TL;DR: It is documented that syncytiotrophoblast mitochondria have a distinct phenotype that differs from that of the mitochondria of cytotrophobine cells, which implies that trophobine mitochondria undergo morphological and functional changes as cytotrophic cells differentiate into syncyTiotrophOBlast.
Journal ArticleDOI
When narratives speak louder than numbers: the effects of narrative persuasion across the stages of behavioural change to reduce air pollution
TL;DR: In this article , the authors explore how individuals at different stages of the behavioural change process perceive air pollution, focussing on the perceived psychological distance of its environmental risks, and test whether the effects of presenting the risks of air pollution in a narrative vs. statistical format on pro-environmental intentions vary depending on the individuals' stage of behavioural change.
