Nature Communications, 2016 Establishment and maintenance of apico-basal polarity in epithelial organs needs to be tightly coupled with cell division. Here the authors show that the Rab35 GTPase tethers intracellular vesicles containing key apical determinants at the cleavage site,

Biophysics in Membrane of Cells
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 The membrane of a cell, often compared to a dynamic city border, carries out an intricate dance of controlling entry and exit, guarding the valuable life processes occurring inside [...]

Mechanics and regulation of cytokinetic abscission
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cytokinetic abscission leads to the physical cut of the intercellular bridge (ICB) connecting the daughter cells and concludes cell division. In different animal cells, it is well established that the ESCRT-III machinery is responsible for the ...

The Physics of Cell Membranes [PDF]
Journal of Biological Physics, 2003 An overview is given of the fundamental physics underlying the self-assembly, molecular organisation and electrical properties of the membranes that envelop living cells. These ultra thin (∼ 6 nm) membranes act as a diffusion barrier between the cell interior (cytoplasm) and the external medium.

Plasma membrane integrity in health and disease: significance and therapeutic potential
Cell Discovery, 2021 Maintenance of plasma membrane integrity is essential for normal cell viability and function. Thus, robust membrane repair mechanisms have evolved to counteract the eminent threat of a torn plasma membrane.

LRRC45 Is a Centrosome Linker Component Required for Centrosome Cohesion
Cell Reports, 2013 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.

Nature Communications, 2020 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 ...

Oxidation and reduction of actin: Origin, impact in vitro and functional consequences in vivo
European Journal of Cell Biology, 2022 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
