Myoglobin Protects Breast Cancer Cells Due to Its ROS and NO Scavenging Properties Open
Myoglobin (MB) is an oxygen-binding protein usually found in cardiac myocytes and skeletal muscle fibers. It may function as a temporary storage and transport protein for O 2 but could also have scavenging capacity for reactive oxygen and …

Carotid body type I cells engage flavoprotein and Pin1 for oxygen sensing Open
Carotid body (CB) type I cells sense the blood Po 2 and generate a nervous signal for stimulating ventilation and circulation when blood oxygen levels decline. Three oxygen-sensing enzyme complexes may be used for this purpose: 1) mitochon…

10th international Luebeck conference on the pathophysiology and pharmacology of erythropoietin and other hemopoietic growth factors Open
It has been suggested that the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR) can not only be found on erythroid precursor cells but also on the surface of certain tumour cells where it might enhance tumour proliferation if patients are treated with Epo t…
