Metabolomic profiling of ZrO2 nanoparticles in MC3T3‐E1 cells

open access: yesIET Nanobiotechnology, 2021
The authors' previous study showed that zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) induce toxic effects in MC3T3‐E1 cells; however, its toxicological mechanism is still unclear.

Cholesterol-induced suppression of Kir2 channels is mediated by decoupling at the inter-subunit interfaces

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Summary: Cholesterol is a major regulator of multiple types of ion channels. Although there is increasing information about cholesterol binding sites, the molecular mechanisms through which cholesterol binding alters channel function are virtually ...

Structural basis of HIV-1 Vpu-mediated BST2 antagonism via hijacking of the clathrin adaptor protein complex 1. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BST2/tetherin, an antiviral restriction factor, inhibits the release of enveloped viruses from the cell surface. Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) antagonizes BST2 through viral protein u (Vpu), which downregulates BST2 from the cell surface.

Synaptophysin 1 Clears Synaptobrevin 2 from the Presynaptic Active Zone to Prevent Short-Term Depression

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Release site clearance is an important process during synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling. However, little is known about its molecular mechanism. Here we identify self-assembly of exocytosed Synaptobrevin 2 (Syb2) and Synaptophysin 1 (Syp1) by homo- and ...

In vitro assembly, positioning and contraction of a division ring in minimal cells

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Constructing a minimal protein machinery for self-division of membrane compartments is a major goal of bottom-up synthetic biology. Here, authors achieved the assembly, placement and onset of contraction of a minimal division ring in lipid vesicles.

Temperature-sensitive migration dynamics in neutrophil-differentiated HL-60 cells

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Cell migration plays an essential role in wound healing and inflammatory processes inside the human body. Peripheral blood neutrophils, a type of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN), are the first cells to be activated during inflammation and subsequently ...

Systems biology and cancer, [Editorial] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The systems approach to complex biological problems has rapidly gained ground during the first decade of this century. There are several reasons for this development. An important one is that while the achievement of sequencing the complete human genome,

Biophysics at the coffee shop: lessons learned working with George Oster [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Over the past 50 years, the use of mathematical models, derived from physical reasoning, to describe molecular and cellular systems has evolved from an art of the few to a cornerstone of biological inquiry.

RyR1-related myopathy mutations in ATP and calcium binding sites impair channel regulation

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica Communications, 2021
The type 1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) is an intracellular calcium (Ca2+) release channel on the sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum that is required for skeletal muscle contraction.
