Bacterial cell shape

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2005
Bacterial species have long been classified on the basis of their characteristic cell shapes. Despite intensive research, the molecular mechanisms underlying the generation and maintenance of bacterial cell shape remain largely unresolved. The field has recently taken an important step forward with the discovery that eukaryotic cytoskeletal proteins ...

Cell shape and cell division

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2006
The correlation between cell shape elongation and the orientation of the division axis described by early cell biologists is still used as a paradigm in developmental studies. However, analysis of early embryo development and tissue morphogenesis has highlighted the role of the spatial distribution of cortical cues able to guide spindle orientation. In

Shaping in plant cells

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001
Plant cells adopt a diversity of different shapes that are adapted to their specific functions. Central to the development of specialised form is the modification of cell-wall composition and organisation. A number of recent papers emphasise the importance of the cell wall to cell shaping, in the definition of both localised regions that are expandable

From cell shape to cell fate via the cytoskeleton - Insights from the epidermis.

Experimental Cell Research, 2019
Animal cells exhibit a wide range of shapes that reflect their diverse functions. Cell shape is determined by a balance between internal and external forces and therefore involves the cytoskeleton and its associated adhesion structures.

Epithelial homeostasis: Cell size shapes cell fate

Current Biology, 2023
A new study shows that cell size, in conjunction with specific signaling pathways, controls apoptosis within developing tissues. Cells with smaller sizes and relatively smaller sizes compared to their neighbors exhibit an increased likelihood of undergoing apoptosis. These processes are regulated by the Hippo/YAP and Notch pathways, respectively.

Shaping up synthetic cells

Physical Biology, 2018
How do the cells in our body reconfigure their shape to achieve complex tasks like migration and mitosis, yet maintain their shape in response to forces exerted by, for instance, blood flow and muscle action? Cell shape control is defined by a delicate mechanical balance between active force generation and passive material properties of the plasma ...

Fusiform-Shaped Cells

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1987
To the Editor .—In a report by Adams 1 entitled "Neuronal Morphology in the Human Cochlear Nucleus," which appeared in the December 1986 issue of theArchives, there is an erroneous quotation from an article2 that I wrote with Bradley J. Edgerton, PhD.

Founder cells shape brain evolution

Cell, 2021
Humans have an extraordinarily expanded and complex cerebral cortex, relative to non-human primates. Yet the mechanisms underlying cortical differences across evolution are unclear. A new study by Benito-Kwiecinski et al. employs cerebral organoids derived across great apes to implicate neuroepithelial progenitor shape transitions in human cortical ...

T cell help shapes B cell tolerance

Science Immunology
T cell help is a crucial component of the normal humoral immune response, yet whether it promotes or restrains autoreactive B cell responses remains unclear. Here, we observe that autoreactive germinal centers require T cell help for their formation and persistence.
