L'angiotensine III [...] a environ 40 % de l'activité hypertensive de l'angiotensine II, mais elle a la même puissance pour stimuler l'aldostérone. Certains chercheurs ont émis l'hypothèse que l'angiotensine III est le peptide naturel qui stimule l'aldostérone, tandis que l'angiotensine II est le peptide qui contrôle la pression sanguine. Cela semble toutefois peu probable, et on croit plutôt que l'angiotensine II est un produit de dégradation qui a conservé une certaine activité biologique.

Il s'agit d'une méthode de fermentation en continu qui utilise une souche de levure avec comme substrat le méthanol, ou éventuellement des sucres comme le glucose. L'un des principaux avantages du procédé réside dans le fait que ces levures peuvent se multiplier à des densités cellulaires très élevées : 120 g/l à 150 g/l (30 g/l à 40 g/l pour les procédés conventionnels).

Gold nanoshells are shuttled into tumors by the use of phagocytosis where phagocytes engulf the nanoshells through the cell membrane to form an internal phagosome, or macrophage. After this it is shuttled into a cell and enzymes are usually used to metabolize it and shuttle it back out of the cell. These nanoshells are not metabolized so for them to be effective they just need to be within the tumor cells and photoinduced cell death is used to terminate the tumor cells. 2, record 8, English, - nanoshell
