Measuring and simulating the biophysical basis of the acoustic contrast factor of biological cells [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The acoustic contrast factor (ACF) is calculated from the relative density and compressibility differences between a fluid and an object in the fluid. To name but one application, this acoustic contrast can be exploited using acoustophoretic systems to isolate cancer cells from a liquid biopsy, such as a blood sample.

Tractions and stress fibers control cell shape and rearrangements in collective cell migration
, 2019 Key to collective cell migration is the ability of cells to rearrange their position with respect to their neighbors. Recent theory and experiments demonstrated that cellular rearrangements are facilitated by cell shape, with cells having more elongated ...

A proanthocyanidin from cinnamomum zeylanicum stimulates phosphorylation of insulin receptor in 3t3-l1 adipocytes [PDF]
, 2006 Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is due to in large part to insulin resistance, a state where the target cells are no longer responding to ordinary levels of circulating insulin.

Phosphorylation of CLEC-2 is dependent on lipid rafts, actin polymerization,secondary mediators, and Rac [PDF]
, 2010 The C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2)activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases via a single cytoplasmic YxxL motif known as a hem immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).Here, we demonstrate using sucrose gradient ...

A functional link between the actin cytoskeleton and lipid rafts during budding of filamentous influenza virions [PDF]
, 2002 Morphogenesis of influenza virus is a poorly understood process that produces two types of enveloped virion: ∼100-nm spheres and similar diameter filaments that reach 20 μm in length.
