How do nanoparticles traverse the endothelial barrier in a living organism? We explored this fundamental question using the zebrafish and PEG-based nanoparticles (NPs) in our latest article: (pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...).

Trans-Endothelial Trafficking in Zebrafish: Nanobio Interactions of Polyethylene Glycol-Based Nanoparticles in Live Vasculature
Trans-endothelial transport of nanoparticles remains poorly characterized in live organisms. The zebrafish is a well-established model for direct in vivo imaging; however, standardized controls have n...

It is believed that proton conductance by the mitochondrial uncoupling protein (UCP1) is inhibited specifically by purine nucleotides, but we show that pyrimidine nucleotides also inhibit UCP1 with similar affinities in a pH-dependent manner. #mitochondria www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....
