The hitherto unexplained reduction of cell-specific productivity in transient gene expression
(TGE) at high cell density (HCD) is known as the cell density effect (CDE). It currently …

Sphingolipids are involved in cell signaling and metabolic pathways, and their metabolites
play a critical role in host defense against intracellular pathogens. Here, we review the …

As viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites, any step during their life cycle strictly
depends on successful interaction with their particular host cells. In particular, their …

Aims Cardiac injury and remodelling are associated with the rearrangement of cardiac
