Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Airway Management of Post-burn Neck Contracture with Microstomia: Age Old Technique Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This case report describes airway management of a patient of post burn neck contracture with fixed flexion deformity and restricted mouth opening. Attempt to intubate the patient with fiberoptic bronchoscope failed so the neck contracture was released ...

Contracture and gait deviations

open access: yes, 2018
Soft-tissue contracture is usually defined as a permanent shortening of the musculotendinous complex limiting the mobility of a joint. Contracture is mainly due to the consequences of joint immobilization and is one of the main causes of gait disorders ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Paclitaxel induces NM2‐dependent cellular contraction through GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and RhoA/ROCK activation in cancer cells

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

Noninvasive magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound for tendon disruption: an in vivo Animal study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Hyperthermia, 2023
Purpose Surgical resection of the tendon is an effective treatment for severe contracture. Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a non-invasive ultrasonic therapy which produces a focal increase in temperature, subsequent tissue ...

A new flow chip in combination with multiphoton microscopy as a protocol for longitudinal 3D imaging of tissue calcification under shear stress

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Miniaturized flow chip platform enabling continuous perfusion and longitudinal multiphoton 3D imaging of vascular smooth muscle cell constructs under physiological flow. Brightfield imaging guides region selection, while CellTracker Green and mRuby‐labeled fetuin‐A visualize cells and mineral deposition, respectively. Magnesium supplementation markedly

Experimental Contracture of Superior Rectus Muscle : Period for Development of Contracture [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
It is not rare to confirm the extraocular muscle contracture clinically in case of antagonist paralysis. Precise discriptions, however, regarding the development of the contracture of extraocular muscles have not been mentioned in previous reports.
