SARM1 Suppresses Axon Branching Through Attenuation of Axonal Cytoskeletal Dynamics
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Axon branching is a fundamental aspect of neuronal morphogenesis, neuronal circuit formation, and response of the nervous system to injury. Sterile alpha and TIR motif containing 1 (SARM1) was initially identified as promoting Wallerian degeneration of ...

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies directly induced podocyte damage in vitro
Renal Failure, 2022 Background The pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (MN) involves the antibodies against antigens on the cell surface of podocytes, with the majority of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), and a profound podocyte dysfunction.

Cytoskeletal architecture and its evolutionary significance in amoeboid eukaryotes and their mode of locomotion [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The cytoskeleton is the hallmark of eukaryotic evolution. The molecular and architectural aspects of the cytoskeleton have been playing a prominent role in our understanding of the origin and evolution of eukaryotes. In this study, we seek to investigate

ACTIN7 Is Required for Perinuclear Clustering of Chloroplasts during Arabidopsis Protoplast Culture
Plants, 2020 In Arabidopsis, the actin gene family comprises eight expressed and two non-expressed ACTIN (ACT) genes. Of the eight expressed isoforms, ACT2, ACT7, and ACT8 are differentially expressed in vegetative tissues and may perform specific roles in ...
