Electrophoresis, 18(14), 2582-2590 (1998-04-04)
Protein targeting and sorting is accomplished by complex vesicular transport processes that are tightly regulated within a cell. This is especially important for epithelial cells because correct delivery of newly synthesized proteins as well as recycling and sorting of internalized

Electrophoresis, 18(14), 2573-2581 (1998-04-04)
Electrophoretic techniques, and especially two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), have provided an indispensable set of tools for the separation of complex protein mixtures as well as for the identification of protein-protein interactions. Nevertheless, after its introduction more than twenty years ago

The spontaneous contractions of collecting lymphatic vessels provide an essential propulsive force to return lymph centrally. These contractions are driven by an intrinsic electrical pacemaker, working through an unknown underlying ionic mechanism that becomes compromised in some forms of lymphedema.
