Investigating the role of endocytosis in the uptake of photoassimilates in Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis (Rhodophyta) by Haihong Chen, Ziyan Shi, Hongxin Ji, Shengqi Ye, Xiaoqian Zhou, Zhijie dan, Xin Shen

“…Conclusions These findings indicate that endocytosis in G. lemaneiformis plays a role in regulating the cellular uptake of extracellular photoassimilates, which in turn influences the storage substances in sink cells and the overall growth and development of the algae. This study sheds new light on the regulatory mechanisms governing photoassimilate translocation in macroalgae.…”

Physicochemical characteristics and trophic state evaluation of post glacial mountain lake using multivariate analysis by S. Nayek, S. Gupta, K.K. Pobi

“…Deviations between Trophic state indices (TSI_CHLa-TSI_SD: -14±7.88, TSI_CHLa-TSI_TP: -9.17±3.33, and TSI_CHLa-TSI_TN: -17.56±5.29) infer that the nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) are not limiting factors for the algal biomass, and non-algal components such as suspended solids soil/sediment particles affects the light attenuation in the monitored lake. The observations reveal that trophic condition of monitored lake is in alarming stage. …”

Cancer stem cell populations are resistant to 5-aminolevulinic acid-photodynamic therapy (5-ALA-PDT) by Chantel P. J. Rice, Vipin Shankar Chelakkot, Noah T. Conohan, Kensuke Hirasawa

“…PDT involves the administration of photoactive substances called photosensitizers (PS) that selectively accumulate in cancer cells and are subsequently excited/activated by irradiation with light at wavelengths of optimal absorbance. Activated PS leads to the generation of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting cancer cell death. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a naturally occurring PS precursor, which is metabolically converted to the PS, protoporphyrin IX (PPIX). …”
