Hydrodynamic and rheology of active polar filaments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The cytoskeleton provides eukaryotic cells with mechanical support and helps them perform their biological functions. It is a network of semiflexible polar protein filaments and many accessory proteins that bind to these filaments, regulate their ...

Patterns in Space: Coordinating Adhesion and Actomyosin Contractility at E-cadherin Junctions

open access: yes, 2013
Cadherin adhesion receptors are fundamental determinants of tissue organization in health and disease. Increasingly, we have come to appreciate that classical cadherins exert their biological actions through active cooperation with the contractile actin ...

Spectrins in Axonal Cytoskeletons: Dynamics Revealed by Extensions and Fluctuations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The macroscopic properties, the properties of individual components and how those components interact with each other are three important aspects of a composited structure.

Increased Blood Levels of NfL, GFAP, and Placental Growth Factor After Radiotherapy to the Brain

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we analyzed biomarkers of neuronal, glial, and vascular injury in longitudinal paired samples of blood and cerebrospinal fluid after prophylactic cranial irradiation in patients with small cell lung cancer. Neurofilament light chain protein (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) increased in serum and cerebrospinal ...

The Dystrophinopathies: An Alternative to the Structural Hypothesis

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 1998
Abnormal expression of the cytoskeletal protein dystrophin has deleterious consequences for skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and the central nervous system.

A neuronal network of mitochondrial dynamics regulates metastasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The role of mitochondria in cancer is controversial. Using a genome-wide shRNA screen, we now show that tumours reprogram a network of mitochondrial dynamics operative in neurons, including syntaphilin (SNPH), kinesin KIF5B and GTPase Miro1/2 to localize

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.

Monocyte LOXHD1 and RHOB Expression Predictive of Progressive Systemic Sclerosis–Associated Interstitial Lung Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective A leading cause of death among patients with scleroderma (SSc), interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains challenging to prognosticate. The discovery of biomarkers that accurately determine which patients would benefit from close monitoring and aggressive therapy would be an essential clinical tool.

The Role of the Microtubule Cytoskeleton in Neurodevelopmental Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Neurons depend on the highly dynamic microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton for many different processes during early embryonic development including cell division and migration, intracellular trafficking and signal transduction, as well as proper axon guidance ...

Unlocking the Power of Quercetin‐Encapsulated Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles: A Multifunctional Approach to Bone Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are investigated for bone regeneration given their remarkable structural and functional properties. MBGNs are functionalized with Mn and Cu and incorporated with quercetin, a natural flavonoid exhibiting antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
