Spatio-temporal dynamics of an active, polar, viscoelastic ring
, 2014 Constitutive equations for a one-dimensional, active, polar, viscoelastic liquid are derived by treating the strain field as a slow hydrodynamic variable.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a novel multi‐scale scaffold design using L‐fractals arranged in Archimedean tessellations for tissue regeneration. Despite similar porosity, tiles display vastly different tensile responses (1–100 MPa) and deformation modes. In vitro experiments with hMSCs show geometry‐dependent growth and activity. Over 55 000 tile combinations

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 The tight junction protein ZO-1 belongs to a family of multidomain proteins known as the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homologs (MAGUKs). ZO-1 has been demonstrated to interact with the transmembrane protein occludin, a second tight junction ...

Integrin signaling to the actin cytoskeleton
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2003 Integrin engagement stimulates the activity of numerous signaling molecules, including the Rho family of GTPases, tyrosine phosphatases, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and protein kinase C, and stimulates production of PtdIns(4,5)P2. Integrins promote actin assembly via the recruitment of molecules that directly activate the actin polymerization ...

3D Multicellular Scaffold Based Model for Advancing Bone Disorder Research
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A scalable 3D multicellular in vitro bone model engineered by integrating osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells on biodegradable scaffolds. The system recapitulates key features of human bone remodeling and disease pathology. As a proof of concept, the model mimics osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating its potential as a physiologically ...

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Actin cytoskeleton in dendritic spine
Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 2007 樹状突起スパインは脳内の主要な興奮性シナプス後部であり，その形態および構成タンパク質の可塑的変化は学習記憶などの高次機能に重要である．スパイン内の構造体としては，シナプス後部肥厚（PSD）とアクチン細胞骨格があり，スパインの形態変化は主にアクチン細胞骨格により制御されている．スパイン内ではその頭部と頸部でアクチン線維の構造が異なることに加えて，頭部の中でもシナプス直下のPSD近傍と細胞質の中心領域でアクチン結合タンパク質の分布が異なる．したがって，スパインは3種類の性質の異なるアクチン細胞骨格によって構成されていると考えられる．アクチンを脱重合させると，多くのスパイン構成タンパク質の局在が不安定化し，スパイン形態もフィロポディア様に変化する．従って，アクチン細胞骨格がスパイン形態の形成 ...

A novel class of anticancer compounds targets the actin cytoskeleton in tumor cells.
Cancer Research, 2013 The actin cytoskeleton is a potentially vulnerable property of cancer cells, yet chemotherapeutic targeting attempts have been hampered by unacceptable toxicity.
