Axonal T3 uptake and transport can trigger thyroid hormone signaling in the brain
The development of the brain, as well as mood and cognitive functions, are affected by thyroid hormone (TH) signaling. Neurons are the critical cellular target for TH action, with T3 regulating the expression of important neuronal gene sets. However, the

Mapping eGFP oligomer mobility in living cell nuclei. [PDF]
Movement of particles in cell nuclei can be affected by viscosity, directed flows, active transport, or the presence of obstacles such as the chromatin network.

The role of spatial averaging in the precision of gene expression patterns [PDF]
During embryonic development, differentiating cells respond via gene expression to positional cues from morphogen gradients. While gene expression is often highly erratic, embryonic development is precise. We show by theory and simulations that diffusion

Intracellular Localization of Blattella germanica Densovirus (BgDV1) Capsid Proteins
Densovirus genome replication and capsid assembly take place in the nucleus of the infected cells. However, the mechanisms underlying such processes as the delivery of virus proteins to the nucleus and the export of progeny virus from the nucleus remain ...

Yeast karyopherin Kap95 is required for cell cycle progression at Start
Background The control of the subcellular localization of cell cycle regulators has emerged as a crucial mechanism in cell division regulation. The active transport of proteins between the nucleus and the cytoplasm is mediated by the transport receptors ...

Nuclear Herpesvirus Capsid Motility Is Not Dependent on F-Actin
A considerable part of the herpesvirus life cycle takes place in the host nucleus. While much progress has been made to understand the molecular processes required for virus replication in the nucleus, much less is known about the temporal and spatial ...

Defining the subcellular interface of nanoparticles by live-cell imaging. [PDF]
Understanding of nanoparticle-bio-interactions within living cells requires knowledge about the dynamic behavior of nanomaterials during their cellular uptake, intracellular traffic and mutual reactions with cell organelles. Here, we introduce a protocol

Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling activity of ataxin-3. [PDF]
Spinocerebellar ataxia type-3, also known as Machado-Joseph Disease (MJD), is one of many inherited neurodegenerative disorders caused by polyglutamine-encoding CAG repeat expansions in otherwise unrelated genes.
