Metabolism Shapes the Cell [PDF]
ABSTRACT More than 5 decades of work support the idea that cell envelope synthesis, including the inward growth of cell division, is tightly coordinated with DNA replication and protein synthesis through central metabolism. Remarkably, no unifying model exists to account for how these fundamentally disparate processes are functionally coupled.

Mechanisms shaping cell membranes [PDF]
Membranes of intracellular organelles are characterized by large curvatures with radii of the order of 10-30nm. While, generally, membrane curvature can be a consequence of any asymmetry between the membrane monolayers, generation of large curvatures requires the action of mechanisms based on specialized proteins.

Mesothelial Cells Exhibit Characteristics of Perivascular Cells in an In Vitro Angiogenesis Assay
Mesothelial cells have been shown to have remarkable plasticity towards mesenchymal cell types during development and in disease situations. Here, we have characterized the potential of mesothelial cells to undergo changes toward perivascular cells using

Shape‐Dependent Optoelectronic Cell Lysis [PDF]
AbstractWe show an electrical method to break open living cells amongst a population of different cell types, where cell selection is based upon their shape. We implement the technique on an optoelectronic platform, where light, focused onto a semiconductor surface from a video projector creates a reconfigurable pattern of electrodes.

Relationship between Flower Color and Cellular Physicochemical Factors in Bletilla striata
Flower color not only determines the quality and commercial value of ornamental plants, but it also plays a vital role in ecological processes such as pollinator attraction.

Correlating cell shape and cellular stress in motile confluent tissues [PDF]
Significance Using a self-propelled Voronoi model of epithelia known to predict a liquid–solid transition, we examine the interplay between cell motility and cell shape, tuned by cortex contractility and cell–cell adhesion, in controlling the mechanical ...

The Shape of Motile Cells [PDF]
Motile cells - fan-like keratocytes, hand-shaped nerve growth cones, polygonal fibroblasts, to name but a few - come in different shapes and sizes. We discuss the origins of this diversity as well as what shape tells us about the physics and biochemistry underlying cell movement.

Red cell shape in hypothyroidism. [PDF]
Abstract Irregularly contracted red blood-cells are present in small numbers in the blood-films of about two-thirds of patients with untreated hypothyroidism, and this has been found to be of diagnostic value. The abnormal red cells slowly disappear with treatment of the subthyroid state.

Mechanotransduction is a molecular process by which cells translate physical stimuli exerted by the external environment into biochemical pathways to orchestrate the cellular shape and function.
