Deciphering the roles of cell shape and Fat and Dachsous planar polarity in arranging the Drosophila apical microtubule network through quantitative image analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In epithelial cells, planar polarisation of subapical microtubule networks is thought to be important for both breaking cellular symmetry and maintaining the resulting cellular polarity.

Aggregate Filamentous Growth Responses in Yeast

open access: yesmSphere, 2019
Many fungal species, including pathogens, undergo a morphogenetic response called filamentous growth, where cells differentiate into a specialized cell type to promote nutrient foraging and surface colonization.

Distinct regions of H. pylori’s bactofilin CcmA regulate protein–protein interactions to control helical cell shape

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The helical shape of Helicobacter pylori cells promotes robust stomach colonization; however, how the helical shape of H. pylori cells is determined is unresolved.

3D Organisation of Cells in Pseudostratified Epithelia

open access: yesFrontiers 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

The Shaping of the T Cell Repertoire [PDF]

open access: yesImmunity, 2001
By combining a TCRbeta transgene with a TCRalpha minilocus comprised of a single V and two J gene segments, we engineered a mouse line exhibiting ample but focused TCR diversity, restricted to CDR3alpha. Using single-cell PCR and high-throughput sequencing, we have exploited this system to scrutinize T cell repertoire selection and evolution.

Mesenchymal cell invasion requires cooperative regulation of persistent microtubule growth by SLAIN2 and CLASP1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Microtubules regulate signaling, trafficking, and cell mechanics, but the respective contribution of these functions to cell morphogenesis and migration in 3D matrices is unclear.

Conserved cellular patterning in the mesophyll of rice leaves

open access: yesPlant Direct, 2023
The mesophyll cells of grass leaves, such as rice, are traditionally viewed as displaying a relatively uniform pattern, in contrast to the clear distinctions of palisade and spongy layers in typical eudicot leaves. This quantitative analysis of mesophyll

Cell Shape: Taking the Heat [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2008
Preservation of cell architecture under physically stressful conditions is a basic requirement for many biological processes and is critical for mechanosensory systems built to translate subtle changes in cell shape into changes in organism behaviour. A new study reveals how an extracellular protein--Spam--helps mechanosensory organs in the fruit fly ...

“Influence of plasmids, selection markers and auxotrophic mutations on Haloferax volcanii cell shape plasticity”

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Haloferax volcanii and other Haloarchaea can be pleomorphic, adopting different shapes, which vary with growth stages. Several studies have shown that H.
