Actin Cytoskeleton and Golgi Involvement in Barley stripe mosaic virus Movement and Cell Wall Localization of Triple Gene Block Proteins. [PDF]
, 2013 Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) induces massive actin filament thickening at the infection front of infected Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. To determine the mechanisms leading to actin remodeling, fluorescent protein fusions of the BSMV triple gene ...

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

Modeling and simulation of some cell dispersion problems by a nonparametric method
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2011 Starting from the classical descriptions of cell motion we propose some ways to enhance the realism of modeling and to account for interesting features like allowing for a random switching between biased and unbiased motion or avoiding a set of obstacles.

Development of a Computational Model for Cell Activity in a Nano-Scaffold [PDF]
, 2020 Tissue engineering utilizes nano-scaffolds to direct cell growth and control cell behavior. Since cells occupy specific spaces within extracellular matrix (ECM) it’s important to understand how the geometry of these spaces influence cell behaviors such ...

Chemotaxis: a feedback-based computational model robustly predicts multiple aspects of real cell behaviour [PDF]
, 2011 The mechanism of eukaryotic chemotaxis remains unclear despite intensive study. The most frequently described mechanism acts through attractants causing actin polymerization, in turn leading to pseudopod formation and cell movement.

Mechanism of nuclear movements in a multinucleated cell [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2016 Multinucleated cells are important in many organisms, but the mechanisms governing the movements of nuclei sharing a common cytoplasm are not understood. In the hyphae of the plant pathogenic fungus Ashbya gossypii, nuclei move back and forth, occasionally bypassing each other, preventing the formation of nuclear clusters. This is essential for genetic

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

On the mechanical interplay between intra- and inter-synchronization during collective cell migration : a numerical investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Collective cell migration is a fundamental process that takes place during several biological phenomena such as embryogenesis, immunity response, and tumorogenesis, but the mechanisms that regulate it are still unclear.
