Cell Biology: Scaling and the Emergence of Evolutionary Cell Biology

Current Biology, 2015
A new study investigating the origins of diversity in the structure of the mitotic spindle in nematode embryos, at timescales spanning a few generations to hundreds of millions of years, finds that most features of the spindle evolve via a scaling relationship generated by natural selection acting directly upon embryo size.

Direct contact between Plasmodium falciparum and human B-cells in a novel co-culture increases parasite growth and affects B-cell growth

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background Plasmodium falciparum parasites cause malaria and co-exist in humans together with B-cells for long periods of time. Immunity is only achieved after repeated exposure.

Life is sweet: the cell biology of glycoconjugates.

, 2020
Cells are dazzling in their diversity, both within and across organisms. And yet, throughout this variety runs at least one common thread: sugars. All cells on Earth, in all domains of life, are literally covered in glycans, a term referring to the ...

ASPM promotes homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair by safeguarding BRCA1 stability

iScience, 2021
Summary: DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by homologous recombination (HR) is essential for ensuring genome stability. Abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated (ASPM) gene encodes a spindle protein that is commonly implicated in primary ...

Mechanics rules cell biology

Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation, Therapy & Technology, 2010
Cells in the musculoskeletal system are subjected to various mechanical forces in vivo. Years of research have shown that these mechanical forces, including tension and compression, greatly influence various cellular functions such as gene expression ...

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived DDX4 and KRT-8 positive cells participate in ovarian follicle-like structure formation

iScience, 2021
Summary: Understanding the mechanisms of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) specification, development and differentiation to gametes are useful for elucidating the causes of infertility and potential treatment. This study aims to examine whether hPSCs
