RNG2 tethers the conoid to the apical polar ring in Toxoplasma gondii to enable parasite motility and invasion. [PDF]

PLoS Biology
The conoid is a dynamic, tubulin-based structure conserved across the Apicomplexa that undergoes extrusion during egress, gliding motility, and invasion in Toxoplasma gondii.

An apical ring protein essential for conoid complex assembly and daughter cell formation in Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]

Nature Communications
In Toxoplasma gondii, the conoid complex consists of intraconoidal microtubules (ICMTs), preconoidal rings (PCRs), apical polar ring (APR), and the conoid.

Molecular characterization of the conoid complex in Toxoplasma reveals its conservation in all apicomplexans, including Plasmodium species

PLoS Biology, 2021
The apical complex is the instrument of invasion used by apicomplexan parasites, and the conoid is a conspicuous feature of this apparatus found throughout this phylum.

Preliminary In Vivo Evaluation of Coracoclavicular Ligament Mechanics During Shoulder Elevation After Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction [PDF]

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine
Background: Persistent instability and altered scapular mechanics after acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) reconstruction may stem from inadequate replication of native coracoclavicular (CC) ligament function.

Risk factors for coracoclavicular reconstruction failure: a systematic review [PDF]

JSES International
Background: The coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction for acromioclavicular injuries is performed through a variety of surgical techniques and fixation methods. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors associated with failure of

A conserved ankyrin repeat-containing protein regulates conoid stability, motility and cell invasion in Toxoplasma gondii

Nature Communications, 2017
Apicomplexan parasites such as Toxoplasma gondii possess a tubulin-rich structure called the conoid. Here, Long et al. identify a conoid protein that interacts with motor and structural proteins and is required for structural integrity of the conoid ...

Effect of deltoid–trapezius overlap repair on acromioclavicular joint stability: a biomechanical study using fresh-frozen cadavers [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Severe acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is associated with damage to the deltoid and trapezius muscles. However, studies on the role of these muscles in AC joint stability are limited.

Architectural Characteristics of Different Configurations Based on New Geometric Determinations for the Conoid

Buildings, 2021
The aim of this article is to orient the evolution of new architectural forms offering up-to-date scientific support. Unlike the volume, the expression for the lateral area of a regular conoid has not yet been obtained by means of direct integration or a
