Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (3rd edition)

Daniel J. Klionsky, +2522 more
- 21 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peripheral cannabinoid receptor, CB2, regulates bone mass

TL;DR: It is shown that CB2-deficient mice have a markedly accelerated age-related trabecular bone loss and cortical expansion, although cortical thickness remains unaltered, demonstrating that the endocannabinoid system is essential for the maintenance of normal bone mass by osteoblastic and osteoclastic CB2 signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Expression of Cannabinoid Receptors in the Human Colon: Cannabinoids Promote Epithelial Wound Healing

TL;DR: CB1 receptors are expressed in normal human colon and colonic epithelium is responsive biochemically and functionally to cannabinoids, implying an immunomodulatory role that may impact on mucosal immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cannabinoid CB2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract : a regulatory system in states of inflammation

TL;DR: This review of the current knowledge of CB2 receptors in the gastrointestinal tract highlights its role in regulating abnormal motility, modulating intestinal inflammation and limiting visceral sensitivity and pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Raman spectroscopy: an evolving technique for live cell studies

TL;DR: This review focuses on important developments in Raman spectroscopy that have evolved into the exciting technique of live-cell Raman microscopy and highlights some of the most recent and significant applications to cell biology.
