Cell Shape and Cell Lineage Conversion
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2015 The organization of animal cells in vivo can be categorized as being either epithelial or mesenchymal. Inter-conversions between these two states, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), often represent key ...

A mechano-osmotic feedback couples cell volume to the rate of cell deformation
eLife, 2022 Mechanics has been a central focus of physical biology in the past decade. In comparison, how cells manage their size is less understood. Here, we show that a parameter central to both the physics and the physiology of the cell, its volume, depends on a ...

Acute Neurological Events in Children With Hemoglobin SC Disease: A Multicenter Retrospective Study
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Neurological manifestations in children with hemoglobin SC (HbSC) disease remain insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding acute events. The aim of this study was to describe the spectrum and frequency of acute neurological events in a multicenter cohort of children with HbSC disease.

mSystems, 2021 How cells control their shape and size is a fundamental question of biology. In most bacteria, cell shape is imposed by the peptidoglycan (PG) polymeric meshwork that surrounds the cell.

Decoding Information in Cell Shape [PDF]
Cell, 2013 Shape is an indicator of cell health. But how is the information in shape decoded? We hypothesize that decoding occurs by modulation of signaling through changes in plasma membrane curvature. Using analytical approaches and numerical simulations, we studied how elongation of cell shape affects plasma membrane signaling.

Molecular Systems Biology, 2018 Cell size, cell growth, and cell cycle events are necessarily intertwined to achieve robust bacterial replication. Yet, a comprehensive and integrated view of these fundamental processes is lacking. Here, we describe an image‐based quantitative screen of

Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Small erythrocytes might be beneficial for blood rheology, as they contribute less to blood viscosity than large erythrocytes. We predicted that rheological disadvantages of larger erythrocytes could be alleviated by relatively smaller nucleus size in ...

The shape of convective rain cells [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2003 The shape of rainfall cells is a crucial ingredient of stochastic point‐process models that describe intense precipitation events. Here we study the shape of the individual rain cells measured during the TOGA/COARE and GATE radar experiments. We find that, on average, rainfall intensity decreases exponentially from the cell's center.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...
