RhoA mediates epithelial cell shape changes via mechanosensitive endocytosis
bioRxiv, 2019 Morphogenetic movements require tight spatiotemporal control over cell-cell junction lengths. Contractile forces, acting at adherens junctions, alter cell-cell contact lengths in a cyclic fashion as a mechanical ratchet.

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

Developmental Cell, 2019 Summary Oriented cell division patterns tissues by modulating cell position and fate. While cell geometry, junctions, cortical tension, and polarity are known to control division orientation, relatively little is known about how these are coordinated to ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Cells probe their environment and adapt their shape accordingly via the organization of focal adhesions and the actin cytoskeleton. In an earlier publication, we described the relationship between cell shape and physiology, for example, shape-induced ...

Precise tuning of cortical contractility regulates cell shape during cytokinesis
bioRxiv, 2019 The mechanical properties of the cellular cortex regulate shape changes during cell division, cell migration and tissue morphogenesis. During cell division, contractile force generated by the molecular motor myosin II (MII) at the equatorial cortex ...

Cell shape and substrate stiffness drive actin-based cell polarity.
Physical Review E, 2019 A general trait of living cells is their ability to exert contractile stresses on their surroundings and thus respond to substrate rigidity. At the cellular scale, this response affects cell shape, polarity, and ultimately migration.

Cell and Nucleus Shape as an Indicator of Tissue Fluidity in Carcinoma
Physical Review X, 2021 Tissue, cell, and nucleus morphology change during tumor progression. In 2D confluent cell cultures, different tissue states, such as fluid (unjammed) and solid (jammed), are correlated with cell shapes.

Essential role of the endocytic site-associated protein Ecm25 in stress-induced cell elongation
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: How cells adopt a different morphology to cope with stress is not well understood. Here, we show that budding yeast Ecm25 associates with polarized endocytic sites and interacts with the polarity regulator Cdc42 and several late-stage endocytic ...
