TL;DR: The hypothesis that annexin V might be involved in membrane trafficking is supported and a role for this protein in the regulation of cytoplasmic activities in glial cells is suggested.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that isolated mitochondria from rat brain cortex, incubated in the absence of respiratory substrates, release a Ca2+-dependent PLA2 having biochemical properties characteristic to secreted PLA2 (sPLA2) and immunoreacting with the antibody raised against recombinant type IIA sPLA2-IIA.

TL;DR: A role for S100B in the assembly of intermediate filaments in astrocytes is suggested, although it is found that S 100B has no direct effect on CaM KII activity, the major kinase in this cytoskeletal fraction able to phosphorylate GFAP.

TL;DR: Data suggest that annexins V and VI are involved in the regulation of membrane‐related processes in porcine heart.

TL;DR: Immunocytochemical and immunoblotting analyses indicate that S-100a0 is exclusively found at the level of the sarcolemmal membranes, the membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the external mitochondrial membranes, and in the adjacent sarcoplasms, and no evidence of S- 100a0 being associated with the nuclei or with myofibrils has been obtained.
