From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Dynamic assembly, disassembly and bundling of the bacterial cell division protein FtsZ and YgfE (ZapA) [PDF]

The protein FtsZ is a tubulin-like GTPase, which plays an essential role in prokaryotic cell division. In vivo it assembles into a dynamic ring (the Z-ring) at the future site of cell division on the inner surface of the cytoplasmatic membrane.

Colocalization and interaction between elongasome and divisome during a preparative cell division phase in Escherichia coli

, 2013
The rod-shaped bacterium Escherichia coli grows by insertion of peptidoglycan into the lateral wall during cell elongation and synthesis of new poles during cell division.

Spinal Cord Infarction Versus Idiopathic Transverse Myelitis: Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Insights From a Retrospective Cohort Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is a rare but devastating myelopathy, characterized by a high disability rate and an unfavorable prognosis. It has often been underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed as idiopathic transverse myelitis (ITM). This study aimed to describe the clinical features, radiological biomarkers, treatments, and functional ...

Effects of diamagnetic levitation on bacterial growth in liquid

, 2010
Diamagnetic levitation is a technique that uses a strong, spatially-varying magnetic field to levitate diamagnetic materials, such as water and biological cells. This technique has the potential to simulate aspects of weightlessness, on the Earth.

Control of the human cell cycle by a bacterial protein, gapstatin

European Journal of Cell Biology, 1998
The oral gram-negative bacterium Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is a major pathogen in human periodontal disease. Saline extraction releases a range of surface-associated components from this bacterium, including one which exhibits potent anti-proliferative activity as assessed by its capacity to inhibit DNA synthesis by human and other mammalian
