The transporter is likely to be part of an intercellular transport mechanism in which low molecular weight products are passed into and out of the exuvial space.
An assemblage of identical chemical cells weakly coupled by passive intercellular transport is considered.
Theurkauf, W. E., Smiley, S., Wong, M. L. & Alberts, B. M. Reorganization of the cytoskeleton during Drosophila oogenesis: implications for axis specification and intercellular transport.
However, in the presence of even very weak intercellular transport, these composition patterns may or may not persist.
To rationalize this emergent pattern of cell sizes, we propose a tractable mathematical model that depends on intercellular transport on a cell lineage tree.
Results are presented that indicate how the persistence of patterns is determined by the interplay of chemistry and intercellular transport.
Cell-to-cell connections were established, and their effectiveness for intercellular transport of molecular cargo was demonstrated.
The level of GDEPT bystander cell killing was notably increased by the use of a fusion protein of the HSVtk enzyme and the HSV intercellular transport protein vp22.
Lipid nanotubes interconnecting mammalian cells, sometimes referred to as tunneling nanotubes, have recently received increased attention, as their importance in intercellular transport and communication has been recognized.
Although researcher Anja Geitmann said they could not draw any specific conclusions on the implications for animal - and human - sex in space, she added that intercellular transport is important in a variety of human cells.
Here, an atypical member of the PIN family, PIN5 in Arabidopsis thaliana, is characterized, revealing that it is does not mediate intercellular transport of auxin, but is instead localized to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it presumably regulates intracellular levels of auxin.
