Adherens junction distribution mechanisms during cell-cell contact elongation in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 During Drosophila gastrulation, amnioserosa (AS) cells flatten and spread as an epithelial sheet. We used AS morphogenesis as a model to investigate how adherens junctions (AJs) distribute along elongating cell-cell contacts in vivo.

Sono‐Mechanogenetics: Linking Ultrasound Physics With Cellular Mechanobiology
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Sono‐mechanogenetics links ultrasound physics with cellular mechanotransduction to enable noninvasive control of engineered biological systems. Acoustic forces generate distinct deformation modes that activate intracellular signaling pathways, which can be coupled to synthetic gene circuits to regulate diverse cellular functions, including gene ...

Subcellular localisations of the CPTI collection of YFP-tagged proteins in Drosophila embryos. [PDF]
, 2014 A key challenge in the post-genomic area is to identify the function of the genes discovered, with many still uncharacterised in all metazoans. A first step is transcription pattern characterisation, for which we now have near whole-genome coverage in ...

Afadin orients cell division to position the tubule lumen in developing renal tubules [PDF]
, 2017 In many types of tubules, continuity of the lumen is paramount to tubular function, yet how tubules generate lumen continuity in vivo is not known. We recently found the F-actin binding protein Afadin is required for lumen continuity in developing renal ...

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]
, 2009 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).

Adherens Junctions Revisualized: Organizing Cadherins as Nanoassemblies [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2015 This Perspective considers how classical cadherin cell-cell adhesion receptors are organized at the nanoscale to generate lateral clusters. Recent advances in optical microscopy reveal that clustering constitutes a general feature of cadherin organization, but one that takes diverse forms.

Stromal upregulation of lateral epithelial adhesions: gene expression analysis of signalling pathways in prostate epithelium [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Stromal signalling increases the lateral cell adhesions of prostate epithelial cells grown in 3D culture. The aim of this study was to use microarray analysis to identify significant epithelial signalling pathways and genes in this process ...

Nanomaterial‐based immune therapeutic strategies in neurodegenerative diseases
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review highlights the immunomodulatory potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in treating neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). It focuses on their roles in regulating innate and adaptive immune responses to maintain immune homeostasis. By providing insights into these mechanisms, the review lays the groundwork for innovative NMs therapeutic strategies to ...
