Electroosmotically actuated peristaltic-ciliary flow of propylene glycol + water conveying titania nanoparticles

Scientific Reports, 2023
The main focus of this article is to mathematically formulate the microfluidics-based mechanical system for nanofluids. A 50:50 mixture of propylene glycol (PG) and water is used as a heat transfer fluid because of its tremendous anti-freezing properties,

Heat shock induces rapid resorption of primary cilia [PDF]

, 2012
Primary cilia are involved in important developmental and disease pathways, such as the regulation of neurogenesis and tumorigenesis. They function as sensory antennae and are essential in the regulation of key extracellular signalling systems.

The Morphological, Behavioral, and Transcriptomic Life Cycle of Anthrobots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DNA is thought to determine shape, behavior, and lifespan, with developmental plasticity reserved for stem cells, embryos, and species like amphibia. How much morphogenetic plasticity do adult somatic human cells exhibit? Anthrobots are a self‐organizing, motile synthetic living construct made of genetically normal human epithelial cells.

Disrupted epithelial/macrophage crosstalk via Spinster homologue 2-mediated S1P signaling may drive defective macrophage phagocytic function in COPD. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
We have previously established a link between impaired phagocytic capacity and deregulated S1P signaling in alveolar macrophages from COPD subjects. We hypothesize that this defect may include a disruption of epithelial-macrophage crosstalk via Spns2 ...

Real‐Time Evolutionary Landscape of the Bronchial Epithelium and Corresponding Dynamic Immune Cell Alterations in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is often preceded by sequential premalignant lesions with an increasing probability of malignant progression. Using single‐cell RNA sequencing, the dynamic cellular evolution from normal lung to LUSC tissues is delineated; clonal structure of premalignant and malignant epithelium is reveled; the conversion of immune ...

Vertebrate Left-Right Asymmetry: What Can Nodal Cascade Gene Expression Patterns Tell Us?

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2017
Laterality of inner organs is a wide-spread characteristic of vertebrates and beyond. It is ultimately controlled by the left-asymmetric activation of the Nodal signaling cascade in the lateral plate mesoderm of the neurula stage embryo, which results ...

Interleukin-1β sequesters hypoxia inducible factor 2α to the primary cilium. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: The primary cilium coordinates signalling in development, health and disease. Previously we have shown that the cilium is essential for the anabolic response to loading and the inflammatory response to interleukin-1β (IL-1β).

The Nuclear Localization of ACLY Guards Early Embryo Development Through Recruiting P300 and HAT1 to Promote Histone Acetylation and Transcription

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ACLY is vital for early embryo development. IGF‐1 activates AKT to phosphorylate ACLY, driving its nuclear localization and recruitment of HATs (P300/HAT1), boosting acetyl‐CoA production and histone acetylation for transcriptional activation. Conversely, ACLY deficiency (via knockdown, knockout, or AKT inhibition) reduces nuclear acetyl‐CoA, disrupts ...

Atypical calcium regulation of the PKD2-L1 polycystin ion channel

eLife, 2016
Native PKD2-L1 channel subunits are present in primary cilia and other restricted cellular spaces. Here we investigate the mechanism for the channel's unusual regulation by external calcium, and rationalize this behavior to its specialized function.
