The Ret receptor regulates sensory neuron dendrite growth and integrin mediated adhesion

eLife, 2015
Neurons develop highly stereotyped receptive fields by coordinated growth of their dendrites. Although cell surface cues play a major role in this process, few dendrite specific signals have been identified to date. We conducted an in vivo RNAi screen in

A neuronal MAP kinase constrains growth of a Caenorhabditis elegans sensory dendrite throughout the life of the organism. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2018
Neurons develop elaborate morphologies that provide a model for understanding cellular architecture. By studying C. elegans sensory dendrites, we previously identified genes that act to promote the extension of ciliated sensory dendrites during ...

Simulation of Dendrite Growth with a Diffusion-Limited Aggregation Model Validated by MRI of a Lithium Symmetric Cell during Charging

Batteries
Lithium metal batteries offer high energy density but are challenged by dendrite growth, which can lead to short circuits and battery failure. Multiple models with varying degrees of accuracy and computational cost have been developed to understand and ...

Continuous 1D single crystal growth with high aspect ratio by oriented aggregation of dendrite

Communications Materials
Continuous 1D growth of crystals is among one of the long-standing goals in material science. Classical generic methods for 1D crystal growth such as guided disposition restrict side growth by external bounding, and become difficult as the aspect ratio ...

Numerical simulation of the effect of hypergravity on the dendritic growth characteristics of aluminum alloys

Heliyon
The cellular automata-lattice Boltzmann method is used to simulate the dendritic growth process of aluminum alloys under the action of hypergravity by performing coupling heat and mass transfer, solidification and flow.

Preparation of Twinned Dendrites of Al-Zn Alloy with High Zn Content [PDF]

Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2018
Twinned dendrites in Al-Zn alloy with high Zn content (40% wt.%) were successfully prepared by directional solidification. At different directional solidification rates (1000 and 1500 μm/s), microstructures and growth orientation variations of Al twinned

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Phase-field simulation for anisotropic dendrite growth in Mg-3wt.%Zn alloy

Journal of Materials Research and Technology
The anisotropy interfacial energy changes the growth tendency of dendrites in different directions during solidification, when the growth tendency in a specific direction appears or disappears, the transition of dendrite orientation will happen.

ABL kinase‐dependent phosphorylation of SH proteins promotes their direct interaction with CRK family SH2 domains

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CT10 regulator of kinase (CRK) and CRK‐Like (CRKL) are signaling adaptors driving cell adhesion, motility, differentiation, and proliferation. SH2‐domain containing (SH) proteins are enriched in YXXP motifs which when phosphorylated create preferred binding sites for CRK family SH2 domains.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
