Regulation of hair cell and stomatal size by a hair cell-specific peroxidase in the grass Brachypodium distachyon. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The leaf epidermis is the outermost cell layer forming the interface between plants and the atmosphere that must both provide a robust barrier against (a)biotic stressors and facilitate carbon dioxide uptake and leaf transpiration.1 To achieve these ...

Cell-Size Control [PDF]

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015
Cells of a given type maintain a characteristic cell size to function efficiently in their ecological or organismal context. They achieve this through the regulation of growth rates or by actively sensing size and coupling this signal to cell division.

Largen: A Molecular Regulator of Mammalian Cell Size Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Little is known about how mammalian cells maintain cell size homeostasis. We conducted a novel genetic screen to identify cell-size-controlling genes and isolated Largen, the product of a gene (PRR16) that increased cell size upon overexpression in human

Cell Size Regulation in Mammalian Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCell Cycle, 2007
The regulation of cell growth and proliferation is fundamental for animal development and homeostasis but the mechanisms that coordinate cell growth with cell cycle progression are poorly understood. One possibility is that "cell-size checkpoints" act to delay division until cells have achieved a minimal size or mass however, the existence of such ...

Scaling of erythrocyte shape and nucleus size among squamate reptiles: reanalysis points to constrained, proportional rather than adaptive changes

open access: yesRoyal 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 ...

Size-Dependent Increase in RNA Polymerase II Initiation Rates Mediates Gene Expression Scaling with Cell Size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Cell size varies during the cell cycle and in response to external stimuli. This requires the tight coordination, or “scaling,” of mRNA and protein quantities with the cell volume in order to maintain biomolecule concentrations and cell density. Evidence

Photosynthetic Characteristics of Smaller and Larger Cell Size-Fractioned Phytoplankton Assemblies in the Daya Bay, Northern South China Sea

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Cell size of phytoplankton is known to influence their physiologies and, consequently, marine primary production. To characterize the cell size-dependent photophysiology of phytoplankton, we comparably explored the photosynthetic characteristics of ...

MAP4K4 inhibition promotes survival of human stem cell derived cardiomyocyte and reduces infarct size in vivo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heart disease is a paramount cause of global death and disability. Although cardiomyocyte death plays a causal role and its suppression would be logical, no clinical counter-measures target the responsible intracellular pathways. Therapeutic progress has

Coupling between Ribotypic and Phenotypic Traits of Protists across Life Cycle Stages and Temperatures

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Relationships between ribotypic and phenotypic traits of protists across life cycle stages remain largely unknown. Herein, we used single cells of two soil and two marine ciliate species to examine phenotypic and ribotypic traits and their relationships ...

The molecular genetic landscape of human brain size variation

open access: yes, 2023
Human brain size changes dynamically through early development, peaks in adolescence, and varies up to 2-fold among adults. However, the molecular genetic underpinnings of interindividual variation in brain size remain unknown.
