Ruthenium polypyridyl peptide conjugates: membrane permeable probes for cellular imaging [PDF]
, 2008 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.

Annexin A4 and A6 induce membrane curvature and constriction during cell membrane repair
Nature Communications, 2017 The role of annexins in cell membrane repair is largely undefined. Here the authors use a model lipid bilayer to show that annexin A4 induces curvature at the membrane free edge and annexin A6 induces constriction force, and find that both annexins are ...

Integrin-mediated membrane blebbing is dependent on the NHE1 and NCX1 activities. [PDF]
, 2011 Integrin-mediated signal transduction and membrane blebbing have been well studied to modulate cell adhesion, spreading and migration^1-6^. However, the relationship between membrane blebbing and integrin signaling has not been explored.

Functional implications of the exon 9 splice insert in GluK1 kainate receptors
eLifeKainate receptors are key modulators of synaptic transmission and plasticity in the central nervous system. Different kainate receptor isoforms with distinct spatiotemporal expressions have been identified in the brain.

Oxidation of F-actin controls the terminal steps of cytokinesis
Nature Communications, 2017 Cytokinetic abscission relies on the local constriction after cytoskeleton disassembly, but it is not known how the actin filaments are disassembled. Here, the authors show that the redox enzyme MICAL1 is recruited by Rab35 and induces oxidation-mediated
