Do kinesin and dynein mutants provide novel insights into the roles of vesicle traffic during cell morphogenesis in Neurospora?
Transport of secretory vesicles is necessary but not sufficient for normal apical extension. A component of retrograde transport, presumably precursors of the vacuole system, is also essential. Our findings provide new information on the role microtubule motors play in cell morphogenesis and suggest that kinesin and cytoplasmic dynein have largely independent functions within separate pathways.
Mediators in the sepsis lymph induce pulmonary dysfunction. The lung may be protected by an enteral immunonutrition containing long chain triglycerides such as olive oil.
