Membrane tubes with active pumping: water transport, vacuole formation and osmoregulation [PDF]
arXivThe need for organisms to regulate their volume and osmolarity when surrounded by freshwater is a basic physical challenge for many bacteria, protists and algae. Taking inspiration from the contractile vacuole complex found in many protists, we discuss how simple models of active membrane tubes can give insights into the fluid and active ionic ...

Conserved and Novel Properties of Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis in Dictyostelium Discoideum [PDF]
, 2012 The protein clathrin mediates one of the major pathways of endocytosis from the extracellular milieu and plasma membrane. Clathrin functions with a network of interacting accessory proteins, one of which is the adaptor complex AP-2, to co-ordinate ...

Study of LvsB in Dictyostelium discoideum provides insights into the Chediak-Higashi syndrome [PDF]
, 2007 The Chediak-Higashi Syndrome is a disorder affecting lysosome biogenesis. At the cellular level, the Chediak-Higashi syndrome is characterized by the presence of grossly enlarged lysosomes in every tissue.

A novel model for fluid secretion by the trypanosomatid contractile vacuole apparatus
Journal of Cell Biology, 1979 We have studied fluid secretion by the contractile vacuole apparatuss of the trypanosomatid flagellate Leptomonas collosoma with thin sections and freeze-fracture replicas of cells stabilized by ultrarapid freezing without prior fixation or ...

Remodeling of Fibrous Extracellular Matrices by Contractile Cells: Predictions from Discrete Fiber Network Simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Contractile forces exerted on the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM) lead to the alignment and stretching of constituent fibers within the vicinity of cells. As a consequence, the matrix reorganizes to form thick bundles of aligned fibers that enable force transmission over distances larger than the size of the cells.
