Plants, 2021 Bryophytes are widely used to monitor air quality. Due to the lack of a cuticle, their cells can be compared to the roots of crop plants. This study aimed to test a hypothetical relation between metal tolerance and cell shape in biomonitoring mosses ...

Compressive stress drives adhesion-dependent unjamming transitions in breast cancer cell migration
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cellular unjamming is the collective fluidization of cell motion and has been linked to many biological processes, including development, wound repair, and tumor growth.

Structural Determinants and Their Role in Cyanobacterial Morphogenesis
Life, 2020 Cells have to erect and sustain an organized and dynamically adaptable structure for an efficient mode of operation that allows drastic morphological changes during cell growth and cell division.

An early cell shape transition drives evolutionary expansion of the human forebrain
bioRxiv, 2020 The human brain has undergone rapid expansion since humans diverged from other great apes, but the mechanism of this human-specific enlargement is still unknown.

Tractions and Stress Fibers Control Cell Shape and Rearrangements in Collective Cell Migration [PDF]
Physical Review X, 2019 Key to collective cell migration is the ability for cells to rearrange their position with respect to their neighbors. One factor identified by experiments to affect cell rearrangement is the number density of cells in the monolayer.

A genome-wide resource of cell cycle and cell shape genes of fission yeast [PDF]
Open Biology, 2013 To identify near complete sets of genes required for the cell cycle and cell shape, we have visually screened a genome-wide gene deletion library of 4843 fission yeast deletion mutants (95.7% of total protein encoding genes) for their effects on these ...

Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula
Microorganisms, 2021 Several haloarchaea are reported to be pleomorphic, while others exhibit remarkable shapes, such as squares. Recently, Haloferax volcanii was found to alter its morphology during growth.

Mechano-chemical regulation of complex cell shape formation: Epidermal pavement cells—A case study
Quantitative Plant Biology, 2023 All plant cells are encased by walls, which provide structural support and control their morphology. How plant cells regulate the deposition of the wall to generate complex shapes is a topic of ongoing research.

Class-A penicillin binding proteins do not contribute to cell shape but repair cell-wall defects
eLife, 2020 Cell shape and cell-envelope integrity of bacteria are determined by the peptidoglycan cell wall. In rod-shaped Escherichia coli, two conserved sets of machinery are essential for cell-wall insertion in the cylindrical part of the cell: the Rod complex ...

Cell Cycle, 2016 Shapes of the cell have fascinated our curiosity since the discovery of the cell by Robert Hooke in 16651 and by Anton van Leeuwenhoek slightly later2 using the state-of-the-art microscopes of the ...
