Selective Targeting of Mobile mRNAs to Plasmodesmata for Cell-to-Cell Movement [PDF]
Many plant mRNAs move from cell to cell or long distance to execute non-cell-autonomous functions. These mobile mRNAs traffic through the phloem to regulate many developmental processes, but despite the burgeoning discovery of mobile mRNAs, little is known about the mechanism underlying the intracellular sorting of these mRNAs.

A gradient method for the quantitative analysis of cell movement and tissue flow and its application to the analysis of multicellular Dictyostelium development [PDF]
We describe the application of a novel image processing method, which allows quantitative analysis of cell and tissue movement in a series of digitized video images. The result is a vector velocity field showing average direction and velocity of movement

Plant Virus Cell-to-Cell Movement Is Not Dependent on the Transmembrane Disposition of Its Movement Protein [PDF]
ABSTRACT The cell-to-cell transport of plant viruses depends on one or more virus-encoded movement proteins (MPs). Some MPs are integral membrane proteins that interact with the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum, but a detailed understanding of the interaction between MPs and biological membranes has been lacking. The cell-to-

Pathogens produce effector proteins to manipulate their hosts. While most effectors act autonomously, some fungal effectors act in pairs and rely on each other for function.

Tobacco mosaic virus: a pioneer to cell–to–cell movement [PDF]
Cell–to–cell movement of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) is used to illustrate macromolecular traffic through plant intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata. This transport process is mediated by a specialized viral movement protein, P30. In the initially infected cell, P30 is produced by transcription of a subgenomic RNA derived from the invading virus.

Extracellular Matrix in Plants and Animals: Hooks and Locks for Viruses
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of animal and plants cells plays important roles in viral diseases. While in animal cells extracellular matrix components can be exploited by viruses for recognition, attachment and entry, the plant cell wall acts as a ...

Analysis of Dielectrophoretic Movement of Cell Flowing in Micro-Channel Related to Shape of Cell [PDF]
Dielectrophoresis has been tried to be applied to cell sorting technology in previous studies. In the present study, the movement of mouse myoblast cells flowing through the perpendicular electric field in a micro- channel has been analyzed in vitro.

Models for pattern formation in somitogenesis: a marriage of cellular and molecular biology [PDF]
Somitogenesis, the process by which a bilaterally symmetric pattern of cell aggregations is laid down in a cranio-caudal sequence in early vertebrate development, provides an excellent model study for the coupling of interactions at the molecular and ...

Cell‐to‐cell movement of tobacco mosaic virus: enigmas and explanations
Abstract Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) spreads between cells through plant intercellular connections, the plasmodesmata. This transport process is mediated by a specialized virus‐encoded movement protein, TMV MP. Recent advances in two major aspects of TMV MP function highlight the limits of our current knowledge and promise exciting ...
