Microtubule Destabilizing Kinesins: A Historical Perspective and Thoughts for the Future

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The microtubule cytoskeleton plays critical roles in multiple cellular processes such as mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation. Cells contain a number of microtubule‐associated proteins that regulate microtubule dynamics both temporally and spatially in cells. The microtubule depolymerizing kinesins include members of the Kinesin‐

Assembly and Maintenance of Myofibrils in the Heart

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The assembly of actin and myosin to the paracrystalline arrangement of myofibrils in striated muscle, that is, heart and skeletal, has puzzled many a cell biologist. Different models, based on cultured cardiomyocytes, were proposed for the last 30 years to explain the sequence of events.

Captivated by Kinesin

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Few proteins have inspired as much curiosity as kinesin. Since its discovery 40 years ago, kinesin has become one of the best understood molecular machines in biology, yet it continues to reveal new questions about how cells organize and move their contents.

Transcriptomic Profiling of SLC and ABC Transporters in the Human Term Placenta

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Solute carriers (SLC) and ATP‐binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential for placental solute exchange and fetal protection, yet their transcriptomic profiles in the human placenta remain poorly characterized. Although fetal sex influences placental development and function, its impact on transporter expression is unclear.

Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Genotype–Phenotype Correlations in Plasma and Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The chemotherapeutic 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) is commonly used to treat solid tumors, especially colorectal cancer. Deleterious variants in DPYD, which encodes dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), are strongly associated with severe and potentially lethal 5‐FU toxicity.

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...
