Molecular mechanisms for transcription in mammalian mitochondria
(2006-11-23)
The circular double stranded mitochondrial genome (mtDNA), which is about 16,600 bp in humans and 16,300 bp in mice, encodes 13 of the -90 different proteins present in the respiratory chain of mammalian mitochondria. The ...
Quantitative evaluation of liver function using gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI
(2022-04-29)
Before liver resection, a reliable and accurate assessment of the liver function is essential to ensure a safe surgery and avoid unfavorable complications such as post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). Gadoxetic acid ...
The interface of mitochondrial DNA transcription and replication
(2012-11-20)
Mitochondria are a dynamic network of subcellular organelles that produce the
