G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) mediate the effects of numerous hormones and neurotransmitters and are major pharmacological targets. Classical studies with crude cell lysates or membrane preparations have identified the main biochemical steps involved in GPCR signaling. Moreover, recent studies on purified proteins have provided astounding det...

Tentacles are remarkable anatomical structures in invertebrates for their diversity of form and function. In bivalves, tentacular organs are commonly associated with protective, secretory, and sensory roles. However, anatomical details are available for only a few species, rendering the diversity and evolution of bivalve tentacles still obscure. In...
Površine morskih nevretenčarjev naseljujejo številni mikroorganizmi, kar se kaže v veliki pestrosti sestave pritrjenih mikrobnih združb. Dosedanje raziskave mikrobioma meduz so pokazale prisotnost raznolikih in specifičnih bakterijskih združb, ki so različne v različnih okoljih, se razlikujejo med populacijami meduz in so le malo podobne združbam v...
0.05) in mechanical and rheological properties up to five times more than BP samples. All samples exhibited shear thinning non-Newtonian behavior. Butter proved its ability to maintain stiff network formation with starch molecules forming lipid-starch complexes characterized by high retention properties and increased stability due to high thixotrop...

This paper investigates the upsetting of bimetallic cylinders with an aluminum alloy center and a brass ring. The influence of the center-ring shape factor and type of assembly fit (interference and clearance), and the effect of friction on the compression force and ductile damage are comprehensively analyzed by means of a combined numerical-experi...
V magistrskem delu je kot razširitev osnovne metode diferenčne dinamične mikroskopije za namen opazovanja hitre dinamike v mehki snovi predstavljena metoda križne diferenčne dinamične mikroskopije. V običajni metodi poteka zajemanje videoposnetka fluktuacij intenzitete sipane svetlobe v vzorcu pri konstantni frekvenci zajemanja slik, zato je najman...

The present study focused to elucidate the promising role of probiotics in the fish culture, by employing microscopic and biochemical parameters to rationalize the possible outcomes. After preliminary feeding trial histopathological analysis revealed clear and visible changes in the intestinal and liver cells of CTRL (control group) compared to pro...
Diferenciacija epitelnih celic ima ključno vlogo pri morfogenezi cevastih organov kot je črevo in vključuje usklajene procese, ki potekajo v skladu s fiziološkimi spremembami med razvojem. V okviru doktorske disertacije smo s kombinacijo tehnik svetlobne in elektronske mikroskopije preučili diferenciacijo epitela zadnjega črevesa med razvojem raka ...

Cancer progression to metastatic dissemination is responsible for ∼90% of deaths in patients. Tremendous efforts have been made to understand primary tumor growth, cancer genetics, and clonal evolution, but also secondary sites of colonization. Intravital imaging technologies are instrumental in understanding key steps of the metastasis cascade, wh...
