TL;DR: This is the first study describing uptake and distribution of the ultrasmall anatase TiO(2) in the plant model system Arabidopsis by modifying the nanoparticle surface with Alizarin red S and sucrose and demonstrating that nanoconjugates traversed cell walls, entered into plant cells, and accumulated in specific subcellular locations.

TL;DR: The evolution from prokaryotes to eukaryotes involved a change of function of PCNA from a 'simple' sliding clamp protein of the DNA polymerase complex to an executive molecule controlling critical cellular decision pathways.

TL;DR: The behaviour of 45-Å nanoparticles of titanium dioxide semiconductor combined with oligonucleotide DNA into nanocomposites in vivo and in vitro are described, which possess the chemically and biologically unique new property of a light-inducible nucleic acid endonuclease, which could become a new tool for gene therapy.

TL;DR: Characteristic X‐ray fluorescence is a technique that can be used to establish elemental concentrations for a large number of different chemical elements simultaneously in different locations in cell and tissue samples to gain insight into cellular processes.

TL;DR: The modulation of gene expression in Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cells at various times following exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation demonstrates modulation of specific genes following low-dose irradiation and suggests that some molecular responses to different qualities of ionized radiation (X-rays, gamma-ray, and neutrons) may be similar.
