Getting Cells and Tissues into Shape [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2011
Cells of all shapes and sizes are able to calculate the location of their middles in order to divide into two during mitosis. Minc et al. (2011) and Gibson et al. (2011) now show that simple mechanical models accurately predict cleavage-plane positioning, and that geometrical interactions between neighboring cells are sufficient to generate ordered ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Keeping the Vimentin Network Under Control: Cell-matrix Adhesion-associated Plectin 1f Affects Cell Shape and Polarity of Fibroblasts

open access: yes, 2010
Monitoring Editor: M. Bishr Omary Focal adhesions (FAs) located at the ends of actin/myosin-containing contractile stress fibers form tight connections between fibroblasts and their underlying extracellular matrix.

Dynamics of a high-Reynolds-number bubble rising within a thin gap [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We report an experimental analysis of path and shape oscillations of an air bubble of diameter d rising in water at high Reynolds number in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell of width h.

A Compound Loss Function With Shape Aware Weight Map for Microscopy Cell Segmentation

open access: yes, 2022
Microscopy cell segmentation is a crucial step in biological image analysis and a challenging task. In recent years, deep learning has been widely used to tackle this task, with promising results. A critical aspect of training complex neural networks for

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

HLA-DR15 molecules jointly shape an autoreactive T cell repertoire in multiple sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The HLA-DR15 haplotype is the strongest genetic risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS), but our understanding of how it contributes to MS is limited.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Bacterial Evolution in High-Osmolarity Environments

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Bacteria must maintain a cytosolic osmolarity higher than that of their environment in order to take up water. High-osmolarity environments therefore present formidable stress to bacteria. To explore the evolutionary mechanisms by which bacteria adapt to

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
