Effect of chemotherapeutic drugs and cytochalasin B on tunneling nanotubes in U87 MG cells [PDF]
Intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment has a major impact on therapeutic outcomes. In particular, highly aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma benefit from efficient cellular communication by developing resistance to therapy or by ...

Changes in subcellular localization of visfatin in human colorectal HCT-116 carcinoma cell line after cytochalasin B treatment [PDF]
The aim of the study was to assess the expression and subcellular localization of visfatin in HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma cells after cytokinesis failure using Cytochalasin B (CytB) and the mechanism of apoptosis of cells after CytB.

Abstract Cytochalasin B (2 to 4 µg/ml) reversibly inhibits the chemotactic response of human and rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes to a bacterial chemotactic factor or to the complement derived factor, C5a. At lower concentrations (1 to 0.1 µg/ml or less) Cytochalasin B actually stimulates chemotaxis.

The evaluation of the frequency of micronuclei (MN) is a broadly utilised approach in in vitro toxicity testing. Nevertheless, the specific properties of nanomaterials (NMs) give rise to concerns regarding the optimal methodological variants of the MN ...

Effect of age and cytoskeletal elements on the indentation-dependent mechanical properties of chondrocytes. [PDF]
Articular cartilage chondrocytes are responsible for the synthesis, maintenance, and turnover of the extracellular matrix, metabolic processes that contribute to the mechanical properties of these cells.

Invertebrates, including earthworms, are applied to study the evolutionarily conserved cellular immune processes. Earthworm immunocytes (so-called coelomocytes) are functionally similar to vertebrate myeloid cells and form the first line of defense ...

Recovery of aging-related size increase of skin epithelial cells: in vivo mouse and in vitro human study. [PDF]
The size increase of skin epithelial cells during aging is well-known. Here we demonstrate that treatment of aging cells with cytochalasin B substantially decreases cell size.
