CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AUTOPHAGY MARKER PROTEIN ATG8 REVEALS ATYPICAL FEATURES OF AUTOPHAGY IN PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM.

Characterization of the autophagy marker protein Atg8 reveals atypical features of autophagy in Plasmodium falciparum.

Conventional autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation process that has crucial homeostatic and regulatory functions in eukaryotic organisms.As malaria parasites must dispose a number of self and host cellular contents, we investigated if autophagy in malaria parasites is similar to the conventional autophagy.Genome wide analysis revealed a par

Hybrid Model of the Context Dependent Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex: Implications for Vergence-Version Interactions

The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is an involuntary eye movement evoked by head movements.It is also influenced by viewing distance.This paper presents a Mens Belt hybrid nonlinear bilateral model for the horizontal angular vestibulo-ocular reflex (AVOR) in the dark.The model is based on known interconnections between saccadic burst circuits in the
