The Shape of Motile Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2009
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.

Classification of HEp-2 Staining Pattern Images Using Adapted Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network-Based Intra-Class Variation of Cell Shape

open access: yesSensors, 2023
There exists a growing interest from the clinical practice research communities in the development of methods to automate HEp-2 stained cells classification procedure from histopathological images.

Adhesive and mechanical regulation of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation in human bone marrow and periosteum-derived progenitor cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
It has previously been demonstrated that cell shape can influence commitment of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMCs) to adipogenic, osteogenic, chondrogenic, and other lineages.

Red cell shape in hypothyroidism. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Pathology, 1969
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.

Tight Regulation of Mechanotransducer Proteins Distinguishes the Response of Adult Multipotent Mesenchymal Cells on PBCE-Derivative Polymer Films with Different Hydrophilicity and Stiffness

open access: yesCells, 2023
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.

Cell shape recognition by colloidal cell imprints: Energy of the cell-imprint interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The results presented in this study are aimed at the theoretical estimate of the interactions between a spherical microbial cell and the colloidal cell imprints in terms of the Derjaguin, Landau, Vervey, and Overbeek (DLVO) surface forces. We adapted the

An atomic force microscope operating at hypergravity for in situ measurement of cellular mechano-response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present a novel atomic force microscope (AFM) system, operational in liquid at variable gravity, dedicated to image cell shape changes of cells in vitro under hypergravity conditions. The hypergravity AFM is realized by mounting a stand-alone AFM into

Methods for Analysing Endothelial Cell Shape and Behaviour in Relation to the Focal Nature of Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this thesis is to develop automated methods for the analysis of the spatial patterns, and the functional behaviour of endothelial cells, viewed under microscopy, with applications to the understanding of atherosclerosis. Initially, a radial

Effect of Sintering Temperature and Applied Load on Anode-Supported Electrodes for SOFC Application

open access: yesEnergies, 2016
Anode-supported cells are prepared by a sequence of hot pressing and co-sintering processes for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) applications. Commercially available porous anode tape (NiO/YSZ = 50 wt %/50 wt %), anode tape (NiO/YSZ = 30 wt %/70 wt %), and ...

Insights Into the Helical Shape Complex of Helicobacter pylori

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
One important factor that promotes the colonization of the upper digestive system of the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori is its helical cell shape. The bacteria cell shape is predominantly defined by its peptidoglycan cell wall. In rod-shaped species,
