Mutations in the gene encoding the human ATP-binding Cassette (ABC) transporter ABCA4 are implicated in several visual disorders including Stargardt’s disease, an early onset macular dystrophy.
P-glycoprotein is an ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, expressed at numerous sanctuary sites protecting the body against xenobiotics. Overexpression of P-glycoprotein in cancer cells is associated with a multidrug resistance phenotype.
Understanding how diversity is maintained in biological systems is a fundamental problem in biology. When addressing this problem, ecologists tend to focus on mechanisms that maintain species diversity, while typically ignoring the ecological and evolutionary consequences of diversity within species.
Glucose and lactate are critical metabolites for most living organisms. In certain circumstances, such as during the intra-erythrocytic stage of malaria parasites and in the glycolytic cancer cells, glycolysis provides the main energy by breaking down the glucose into lactate.
What is the meaning of life? … I’m afraid the answer is disappointingly simple: Mating. That’s it” written by the author Oliver Markus.
