Actin-dependent cell elongation in teleost retinal rods: requirement for actin filament assembly. [PDF]
, 1981 Teleost retinal rods elongate when exposed to light. Elongation is mediated by a narrow necklike region called the myoid. In the cichlid Sarotherodon mossambicus, the rod inner segment (composed of the myoid with adjacent ellipsoid) increases in length ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A visible light‐responsive polyacrylamide‐azobenzene hydrogel enables safe, reversible stiffness control for studying cell mechanobiology without harmful UV exposure. This approach reveals stem cells respond rapidly to mechanical changes, showing altered shape and protein distribution within one hour.

Growth Cone Pathfinding: a competition between deterministic and stochastic events [PDF]
, 2004 BACKGROUND: Growth cone migratory patterns show evidence of both deterministic and stochastic search modes. RESULTS: We quantitatively examine how these two different migration modes affect the growth cone's pathfinding response, by simulating growth ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pre‐internalization phase of endocytosis remains poorly characterized at single‐cell levels. Single‐cell pre‐internalization mechanics are investigated using advanced robotic techniques. Cancer cells exhibit biphasic adhesion – rapid initial binding followed by reinforcement – while fibroblasts show gradual engagement.

Immunosuppressive Formulations for Immunological Defense against Traumatic Brain Injury
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.A novel subcutaneous formulation combining alpha‐ketoglutarate, glycolysis inhibitor PFK15, and a myelin peptide reduces inflammation in a mouse TBI model. This formulation promotes regulatory immune cells, enhances autophagy, and improves motor function, suggesting its potential as a prophylactic immunosuppressive therapy to mitigate TBI‐induced ...

Using Cytochalasins to Improve Current Chemotherapeutic Approaches
Anti-Cancer Agents in Medicinal Chemistry, 2015 Although the amount of progress cancer therapy has made in recent years is commendable, considerable limitations still remain. Most agents preferentially target rapidly proliferating cells, thereby destroying tumorigenic growths. Unfortunately, there are

Role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating the outer phosphatidylethanolamine levels in yeast plasma membrane [PDF]
, 1998 Transbilayer phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtn) movements in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are regulated by an ATP-dependent, protein-mediated process(es).
