How cell crowding causes cancer cells to spread

open access: yeseLife
Cell crowding causes high-grade breast cancer cells to become more invasive by activating a molecular switch that causes the cells to shrink and spread.

Cell wall staining with Trypan Blue enables quantitative analysis of morphological changes in yeast cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Yeast cells are protected by a cell wall that plays an important role in the exchange of substances with the environment. The cell wall structure is dynamic and can adapt to different physiological states or environmental conditions.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Mechanisms and clinical significance of cell volume regulation

open access: yes, 1998
A wide variety of factors challenge constancy of cell volume. Alterations of cell volume activate diverse cell volume regulatory mechanisms including ion transport, osmolyte accumulation, metabolism and expression of appropriate genes.

Simulated impact trauma and osteoarthritis: the role of cell volume and mechanotransduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Health and emotional benefits are linked to participation in exercise, however single-impact load (e.g. trauma) and altered joint loading can cause bone fracture(s) resulting in permanent cartilage damage and increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA).

GABA not only a neurotransmitter: osmotic regulation by GABAAR signalling

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012
In neurons the anionic channel γ-aminobutyric (GABA) A receptor (GABAAR) plays a central role in mediating both the neurotrophic and neurotransmitter role of GABA. Activation of this receptor by GABA also affects the function of non-neuronal cells in the

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Relationship of nuclear genome size, cell volume and nuclei volume in endosperm of Sorghum bicolor

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2015
Endosperm cells of Sorghum bicolor undergo several rounds of endoreplication during seed development, resulting in somatic endopolyploidy with cells containing 3 C to 96 C nuclei (1 C represents the amount of DNA in an unreplicated haploid genome ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.
