The 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO) is a highly conserved protein located in the outer
mitochondrial membrane. TSPO binding, as measured with positron emission tomography …

Nowadays, photodynamic therapy (PDT) that employs photosensitizers (PSs) to generate
cytotoxic species under light irradiation for selective destruction of neoplastic lesions has …

The peripheral-type benzodiazepine receptor or recognition site (PBR) is a widely
distributed transmembrane protein that is located mainly in the outer mitochondrial …

The number of available breast cancer cell (BCC) lines is small, and only a very few of them
have been extensively studied. Whether they are representative of the tumours from which …

This study identifies by microautoradiography activated microglia/macrophages as the main
cell type expressing the peripheral benzodiazepine binding site (PBBS) at sites of active …

For over 15 years, the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR), recently named
translocator protein 18 kDa (TSPO) has been studied as a biomarker of reactive gliosis and …

Benzodiazepines (BZs) 2 are used clinically as muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants,
anxiolytics, and sedativehypnotics. These effects are mediated primarily via the central BZ …

Hexokinase isoforms I and II bind to mitochondrial outer membranes in large part by
interacting with the outer membrane voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC). This …

VDAC1 is found at the crossroads of metabolic and survival pathways. VDAC1 controls
metabolic cross-talk between mitochondria and the rest of the cell by allowing the influx and …

For over 20 years, numerous investigations have focused on elucidating the function of the
peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR). This relatively small protein (18kDa) arouses …
