The Lhcb8-only plants display an altered antenna protein composition
The koLhcb4.1 koLhcb4.2 koLhcb4.3 triple knock-out genotype (hereafter koLhcb4), which lacks the Lhcb4 protein, was complemented with the endogenous Lhcb4.3 (Lhcb8) sequence…

Mechanisms of induced resistance to the antitumoral agent ZZW-115 in pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma
Establishment of the ZZW-115 resistant cells
To model the emergence of therapeutic resistance in a manner that more closely reflects clinical tumor evolution, we chose to generate ZZW-115-resistant cells through a population-based adaptive…
