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 ...

Deformation of an elastic cell in a uniform stream and in a circulatory flow [PDF]
, 2013 The deformation of a circular, inextensible elastic cell is examined when the cell is placed into two different background potential flows: a uniform stream and a circulatory flow induced by a point vortex located inside the cell. In a circulatory flow a

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 ...

IAPs on the move : role of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins in cell migration [PDF]
, 2013 Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are a class of highly conserved proteins predominantly known for the regulation of caspases and immune signaling. However, recent evidence suggests a crucial role for these molecules in the regulation of tumor cell

Cell-Responsive Shape Memory Polymers
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2022 Recent decades have seen substantial interest in the development and application of biocompatible shape memory polymers (SMPs), a class of "smart materials" that can respond to external stimuli. Although many studies have used SMP platforms triggered by thermal or photothermal events to study cell mechanobiology, SMPs triggered by cell activity have ...

Shaping Giant Membrane Vesicles in 3D-Printed Protein Hydrogel Cages
, 2020 Giant unilamellar phospholipid vesicles are attractive starting points for constructing minimal living cells from the bottom-up. Their membranes are compatible with many physiologically functional modules and act as selective barriers, while retaining a ...

3D Organisation of Cells in Pseudostratified Epithelia
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Pseudostratified epithelia have smooth apical and basal surfaces, yet along the apical-basal axis, cells assume highly irregular shapes, which we introduce as punakoids. They interact dynamically with many more cells than visible at the surface. Here, we

Transient increases in intracellular calcium and reactive oxygen species levels in TCam-2 cells exposed to microgravity [PDF]
, 2017 The effects of microgravity on functions of the human body are well described, including alterations in the male and female reproductive systems. In the present study, TCam-2 cells, which are considered a good model of mitotically active male germ cells,
