Actin Remodeling and Polymerization Forces Control Dendritic Spine Morphology [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Dendritic spines are small membranous structures that protrude from the neuronal dendrite. Each spine contains a synaptic contact site that may connect its parent dendrite to the axons of neighboring neurons. Dendritic spines are markedly distinct in shape and size, and certain types of stimulation prompt spines to evolve, in fairly predictable fashion,

Accelerated Bone Healing via Electrical Stimulation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Electrical stimulation significantly impacts bone healing by enhancing osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and vascularization through calmodulin/calcineurin/NFAT signaling. It also boosts macrophage function and cell migration, presenting a comprehensive approach to accelerating bone repair.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cells transduce the rigidity of the environment into biochemical cues through mechanotransductive cascades that modulate cell behavior. Here, a novel role for the boron transporter NaBC1 is identified as a mechanotransducer involved in regulating cell behavior via specific crosstalk with fibronectin‐binding integrins.

Oxidation and reduction of actin: Origin, impact in vitro and functional consequences in vivo
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2022 Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must be finely tuned, both in space and time, to fulfill key cellular functions

Force-induced recruitment of cten along keratin network in epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 2019 The cytoskeleton provides structural integrity to cells and serves as a key component in mechanotransduction. Tensins are thought to provide a force-bearing linkage between integrins and the actin cytoskeleton; yet, direct evidence of tensin's role in ...

Quantitative Super‐Resolution Imaging of Molecular Tension
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Quantitative tension PAINT (qtPAINT) is a new method to quantify molecular tension at super‐resolution by exploiting force‐dependent DNA oligonucleotide dissociation kinetics. Combining hairpin tension probes and molecular‐beacon imagers, qtPAINT achieves 9–30 pN continuous force quantification range with 30–120 nm spatial and minute‐scale temporal ...
