Johnson-Kendall-Roberts theory applied to living cells [PDF]
, 2005 Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR) theory is an accurate model for strong adhesion energies of soft slightly deformable material. Little is known about the validity of this theory on complex systems such as living cells. We have addressed this problem using a

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Mast cells play an effector role in innate immunity, allergy, and inflammation. Antigen-mediated activation of mast cells initiates signaling events leading to Ca2+ response and the release of inflammatory and allergic mediators from granules.

Scientific Reports, 2021 The base of the cilium comprising the transition zone (TZ) and transition fibers (TF) acts as a selecting gate to regulate the intraflagellar transport (IFT)-dependent trafficking of proteins to and from cilia.

Intracellular mechanochemical waves in an active poroelastic model [PDF]
, 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

Kinetochore- and chromosome-driven transition of microtubules into bundles promotes spindle assembly
Nature Communications, 2022 Mitotic spindle assembly is not fully understood. This work reveals that kinetochores drive the coarsening of a uniform microtubule array into bundles, which promote spindle formation and chromosome segregation fidelity.

The Trypanosoma brucei AIR9-like protein is cytoskeleton-associated and is required for nucleus positioning and accurate cleavage furrow placement [PDF]
, 2012 AIR9 is a cytoskeleton-associated protein in Arabidopsis thaliana with roles in cytokinesis and cross wall maturation, and reported homologues in land plants and excavate protists, including trypanosomatids.

Evolution of the cytoskeleton [PDF]
BioEssays, 2007 AbstractThe eukaryotic cytoskeleton appears to have evolved from ancestral precursors related to prokaryotic FtsZ and MreB. FtsZ and MreB show 40–50% sequence identity across different bacterial and archaeal species. Here I suggest that this represents the limit of divergence that is consistent with maintaining their functions for cytokinesis and cell ...

Regulation of actin cytoskeleton via photolithographic micropatterning
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2023 Actin cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in various cellular functions. Extracellular matrix (ECM) can modulate cell morphology by remodeling the internal cytoskeleton.
