Remarks on the number of tubulin dimers per neuron and implications for Hameroff-Penrose Orch OR
Stuart Hameroff has wrongly estimated that a typical brain neuron has 107 tubulin dimers and wrongly attributed this result to Yu and Baas, J. Neurosci. 1994; 14: 2818-2829. In this letter we sho…

Inhibition of Acid Phosphatase Enzyme Activity in the Presence of Noncrystalline Calcium Phosphate and Nanocrystalline Calcium Apatite: a Preliminary Study
BackgroundOur bones are remodelled repeatedly during life. A new and “healthy” bone tissue replaces the old one. Accordingly, the bone degrading cells, the osteoclasts, prefer old and fatigued …
