FATTY ACIDS AS SIGNAL TRANSDUCING MOLECULES: INVOLVEMENT IN THE DIFFERENTIATION OF PREADIPOSE TO ADIPOSE CELLS.

Fatty acids as signal transducing molecules: involvement in the differentiation of preadipose to adipose cells.

Fatty acids are important metabolic substrates for adipose tissue and act, in preadipose cells, as potent inducers of various proteins directly involved in their metabolism.We have investigated the long-term effects of fatty acids on the conversion process of preadipose Ob1771 cells to adipose cells.Chronic exposure of cells to palmitate led, in a

LiDAR-Stabilised GNSS-IMU Platform Pose Tracking

The requirement to estimate the six degree-of-freedom pose of a moving platform frequently arises in automation Ice Buckets applications.It is common to estimate platform pose by the fusion of global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) measurements and translational acceleration and rotational rate measurements from an inertial measurement unit (IM

New cetacean fossils from the late Cenozoic of South Africa

Marine Covers sediments from the western coast of southern Africa record the origin of the Benguela Upwelling System, one of the most productive in the world.High productivity, in turn, is reflected in a diverse marine mammal fossil assemblage, comprising whales, dolphins and a phocid seal.Here, we describe new records of baleen whale (mysticete) f
