Abstract Background Obesity-mediated oxidative stress results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome and T2DM.Recently, mitophagy, a cell-reparative process Keychain Box has emerged as a key facet in maintaining the mitochondrial health, which may contribute to contain the metabolic abnorma
The membrane translocation efficiency of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) has been largely studied, and poly-arginines have been highlighted as particularly active CPPs, especially upon negatively charged membranes.Here we inquire about the influence of membrane mechanical properties in poly-arginine adsorption, penetration and translocation, as we
Gaze direction is an important social communication tool.Global and local visual information are known to play specific roles in processing socially relevant information from a face.The current study investigated whether global visual information has a primary role during gaze-cued orienting of attention and, as such, may influence quality of inter
