LRRC45 Is a Centrosome Linker Component Required for Centrosome Cohesion
During interphase, centrosomes are connected by a proteinaceous linker between the proximal ends of the centrioles, which is important for the centrosomes to function as a single microtubule-organizing center.

Oxidation and reduction of actin: Origin, impact in vitro and functional consequences in vivo
Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must be finely tuned, both in space and time, to fulfill key cellular functions

ESCRT filaments drive the final abscission between two daughter cells but how they physically interact with the membrane is unclear. Using proteomics, the authors show that syndecan-4/syntenin/ALIX couples the ESCRT machinery to the abscission site and ...

Identification of senescence and death in Emiliania huxleyi and Thalassiosira pseudonana: Cell staining, chlorophyll alterations, and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) metabolism [PDF]
We measured membrane permeability, hydrolytic enzyme, and caspase-like activities using fluorescent cell stains to document changes caused by nutrient exhaustion in the coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi and the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana, during ...

Ruthenium polypyridyl peptide conjugates: membrane permeable probes for cellular imaging [PDF]
Two novel polyarginine labelled ruthenium polypyridyl dyes are reported, one conjugated to five, (Ru-Ahx-R5), and one to eight arginine residues, (Ru-Ahx-R8). Both complexes exhibit long-lived, intense, and oxygen sensitive luminescence.

A finite element method for a fourth order surface equation with application to the onset of cell blebbing [PDF]
A variational problem for a fourth order parabolic surface partial differential equation is discussed. It contains nonlinear lower order terms, on which we only make abstract assumptions, and which need to be defined for specified problems.We derive a ...
