Increased Yield of Extracellular Vesicles after Cytochalasin B Treatment and Vortexing
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are promising therapeutic instruments and vectors for therapeutics delivery. In order to increase the yield of EVs, a method of inducing EVs release using cytochalasin B is being actively developed.

YAP/TAZ regulates the expression of proteoglycan 4 and tenascin C in superficial-zone chondrocytes [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2020 The roles of cell division control protein 42 homologue (CDC42) and actin polymerisation in regulating the phenotype of superficial-zone chondrocytes (SZCs) have been demonstrated in vitro; however, the signalling pathway(s) downstream have yet to be ...

Cell viscoelasticity is linked to fluctuations in cell biomass distributions. [PDF]
, 2020 The viscoelastic properties of mammalian cells can vary with biological state, such as during the epithelial-to-mesenchymal (EMT) transition in cancer, and therefore may serve as a useful physical biomarker.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

TREK-1 Regulates Cytokine Secretion from Cultured Human Alveolar Epithelial Cells Independently of Cytoskeletal Rearrangements. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 TREK-1 deficient alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) secrete less IL-6, more MCP-1, and contain less F-actin. Whether these alterations in cytokine secretion and F-actin content are related remains unknown.
