Evolution of Reproductive Division of Labor – Lessons Learned From the Social Amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum During Its Multicellular Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The origin of multicellular life from unicellular beings is an epochal step in the evolution of eukaryotes. There are several factors influencing cell fate choices during differentiation and morphogenesis of an organism. Genetic make-up of two cells that

Trafficking and cell migration [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2009
The migration of single cells and epithelial sheets is of great importance for gastrulation and organ formation in developing embryos and, if misregulated, can have dire consequences e.g. during cancer metastasis. A keystone of cell migration is the regulation of adhesive contacts, which are dynamically assembled and disassembled via endocytosis. Here,

Interactions of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 Protein E With Cell Junctions and Polarity PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1-Containing Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The C-terminus of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) protein E contains a PBM (PDZ-binding motif) targeting PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/ZO-1) domains, which is identical to the PBM of SARS-CoV.

Guiding Neuronal Cell Migrations [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2010
Neuronal migration is, along with axon guidance, one of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the wiring of the brain. As other organs, the nervous system has acquired the ability to grow both in size and complexity by using migration as a strategy to position cell types from different origins into specific coordinates, allowing for the generation of ...

Cell Migration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Cell migration is crucial to the life of unicellular and multicellular organisms. Unicellular organisms migrate to find food and avoid predators; this migration can occur by swimming through a fluid, which is achieved by flagellar or ciliary beating (exemplified by E. coli or Paramecium, respectively), or crawling along a surface (as in amoebae).

Supracellular organization confers directionality and mechanical potency to migrating pairs of cardiopharyngeal progenitor cells

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Physiological and pathological morphogenetic events involve a wide array of collective movements, suggesting that multicellular arrangements confer biochemical and biomechanical properties contributing to tissue-scale organization.

Regulation of P53 signaling in breast cancer by the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF187

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
The tumor suppressor P53 plays critical role in preventing cancer. P53 is rarely mutated and remains functional in luminal-type breast cancer(1).

Not just a marker: CD34 on human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells dominates vascular selectin binding along with CD44

open access: yesBlood Advances, 2017
: CD34 is routinely used to identify and isolate human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) for use clinically in bone marrow transplantation, but its function on these cells remains elusive.

Spectrin binding motifs regulate Scribble cortical dynamics and polarity function

open access: yeseLife, 2015
The tumor suppressor protein Scribble (SCRIB) plays an evolutionary conserved role in cell polarity. Despite being central for its function, the molecular basis of SCRIB recruitment and stabilization at the cell cortex is poorly understood.

Physical Models of Collective Cell Migration [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2019
Collective cell migration is a key driver of embryonic development, wound healing, and some types of cancer invasion. Here, we provide a physical perspective of the mechanisms underlying collective cell migration. We begin with a catalog of the cell–cell
