Hitchhiking through the cytoplasm [PDF]

open access: yesEurophysics Letters (EPL), 2007
We propose an alternative mechanism for intracellular cargo transport which results from motor induced longitudinal fluctuations of cytoskeletal microtubules (MT). The longitudinal fluctuations combined with transient cargo binding to the MTs lead to long range transport even for cargos and vesicles having no molecular motors on them.

Role of Two G-Protein α Subunits in Vegetative Growth, Cell Wall Integrity, and Virulence of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Metarhizium robertsii

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2022
Heterotrimeric G-proteins are crucial for fungal growth and differentiation. The α subunits of heterotrimeric G-proteins play an essential role in controlling signal transduction.

3D Computational Modeling of Bleb Initiation Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
Blebbing occurs in cells under high cortical tension when the membrane locally detaches from the actin cortex, resulting in pressure-driven flow of the cytosol and membrane expansion. Some cells use blebs as leading edge protrusions during cell migration,

Sonneborn and the Cytoplasm [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2006
IN the late 1930s when Tracy Sonneborn was in graduate school and just starting his work on the genetics of protozoa, classical studies on genetics were almost finished. The second edition of Principles of Genetics by E. W. Sinnott and L. C. Dunn (1932) that appeared in that period was quite sophisticated, containing a good account of chromosome theory,

Intracellular mechanochemical waves in an active poroelastic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Many processes in living cells are controlled by biochemical substances regulating active stresses. The cytoplasm is an active material with both viscoelastic and liquid properties. We incorporate the active stress into a two-phase model of the cytoplasm

Undervalued ubiquitous proteins

open access: yes4 open, 2019
The role of ubiquitous proteins (UPs) and their corresponding enzymes have been underestimated in carcinogenesis as the focus of much research revolved around measuring mutations and/or other genetic epiphenomena as surrogate markers of cancer and cancer

Parathyroid Adenoma Completely Impacted within the Thyroid Gland: A Case Report [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Ectopic parathyroid adenoma can be seen in various locations. Sometimes ultrasound and even fine needle aspiration studies cannot distinguish this lesion from thyroid lesions. A 29-year-old woman with a prominent nodule of left thyroid lobe was referred

Spatial control of irreversible protein aggregation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Liquid cellular compartments spatially segregate from the cytoplasm and can regulate aberrant protein aggregation, a process linked to several medical conditions, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.

Magnetic wire as stress controlled micro-rheometer for cytoplasm viscosity measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We review here different methods to measure the bulk viscosity of complex fluids using micron-sized magnetic wires. The wires are characterized by length of a few microns and diameter of a few hundreds of nanometers.
