TL;DR: It is suggested that ATP7A plays an important role in copper-dependent PDGF-stimulated VSMC migration via recruiting Rac1 to lipid rafts at the leading edge, as well as regulating LOX activity, which may contribute to neointimal formation after vascular injury.

TL;DR: It is found that rat adrenal gland (PC12) cells can acquire plutonium in vitro through the major iron acquisition pathway--receptor-mediated endocytosis of the iron transport protein serum transferrin; however, only one form of the plutonium-transferrin complex is active.

TL;DR: The utility of combining coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) with XFM for imaging biological samples to simultaneously produce high-resolution and high-contrast transmission images and quantitative elemental maps is demonstrated.

TL;DR: A general sampling protocol that includes culture, differentiation and fixing of cells in their preferred morphology on the one sample substrate to enable subsequent diverse modern microspectroscopic analyses to enable unprecedented correlated and complementary information on the intracellular biochemistry of metabolic processes, diseases and their treatment.

TL;DR: The results provide a paradigm-shifting model in which fertilization-induced zinc sparks contribute to the polyspermy block by altering conformations of the ZP matrix, which adds a previously unrecognized factor, namely zinc, to the process of ZP hardening.
