Correction to: Wnt3a induces exosome secretion from primary cultured rat microglia.

Following the publication of this article [1], it has been noted by the authors that an image of the same cell nuclei has been used in error twice, in Fig. 8, parts A and B. These images are redundant in this figure as the images in parts D and E show Wnt3a treated and control cells stained with both Hoechst 33342 (as in parts A and B) and fluorescein diacetate.

Lysosomal responses to different gold forms (nanoparticles, aqueous, bulk) in mussel digestive cells: a trade-off between the toxicity of the capping agent and form, size and exposure concentration.

Gold nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in technological materials and consumer products and may have toxicological characteristics distinct from bulk and aqueous gold. The aim of this work was to understand the effects of Au NPs especially, how the form, the size and the coating influence bioaccumulation/biodistribution and toxicity of NPs in mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis. Mussels were exposed for 3 d to concentrations of Au (0.

in vivo localization of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis proteins, CLN3 and CLN7, at endogenous expression levels.

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses are a group of recessively inherited, childhood-onset neurodegenerative conditions. Several forms are caused by mutations in genes encoding putative lysosomal membrane proteins. Studies of the cell biology underpinning these disorders are hampered by the poor antigenicity of the membrane proteins, which makes visualization of the endogenous proteins difficult.

Development and comparison of the methods for quantitative electron probe X-ray microanalysis analysis of thin specimens and their application to biological material.

In recent years, there has been a return to the use of electron probe X-ray microanalysis for biological studies but this has occurred at a time when the Hall programme which acted as the mainstay for biological microanalysis is no longer easily available. Commercial quantitative routines rely on the Cliff-Lorimer method that was originally developed for materials science applications. Here, the development of these two main routines for obtaining quantitative data from thin specimens is outlined and the limitations that are likely to be met when the Cliff-Lorimer routine is applied to biological specimens is discussed.
