Arteriolar vasodilation involves actin depolymerization [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2017
It is generally assumed that relaxation of arteriolar vascular smooth muscle occurs through hyperpolarization of the cell membrane, reduction in intracellular Ca2+concentration, and activation of myosin light chain phosphatase/inactivation of myosin light chain kinase.

Nano ZnO Catalyst for Chemical Recycling of Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2017
This paper is focused firstly on production of monomers bis (2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) and oligomers by using Nano zinc oxide with different particle size (55&94) nm with different weight ratio (0.05, 0.15 and 0.5) by using chemical recycling ...

A bacteriophage tubulin harnesses dynamic instability to center DNA in infected cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dynamic instability, polarity, and spatiotemporal organization are hallmarks of the microtubule cytoskeleton that allow formation of complex structures such as the eukaryotic spindle. No similar structure has been identified in prokaryotes.

Membrane Separation of the Base-Catalyzed Depolymerization of Black Liquor Retentate for Low-Molecular-Mass Compound Production

open access: yesMembranes, 2019
One way of valorizing the lignin waste stream from the pulp and paper industries is depolymerizing it into low-molecular-mass compounds (LMMC). However, a common problem in the depolymerization of Kraft lignin is the low yields of small aromatic ...

A pharmacological cocktail for arresting actin dynamics in living cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by factors that influence polymer assembly, disassembly, and network rearrangement. Drugs that inhibit these events have been used to test the role of actin dynamics in a wide range of cellular processes.

Recent Advances in Mechanochemical Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Biorefineries are industrial facilities where biomass is converted into chemicals, fuels and energy. The use of lignocellulose as raw material implies the development of pretreatments to reduce its recalcitrant character prior to the processes that lead ...

A Stochastic model for dynamics of FtsZ filaments and the formation of Z-ring

open access: yes, 2020
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the formation and growth of FtsZ polymers and their subsequent formation of the $Z$-ring is important for gaining insight into the cell division in prokaryotic cells.

The involvement of actin, calcium channels and exocytosis proteins in somato-dendritic oxytocin and vasopressin release [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hypothalamic magnocellular neurons release vasopressin and oxytocin not only from their axon terminals into the blood, but also from their somata and dendrites into the extracellular space of the brain, and this can be regulated independently ...

A rapid and sensitive method to measure numbers of live cells in alginate capsules following depolymerization with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid

open access: yesBioTechniques, 2023
Cell encapsulation in alginate prevents migration and extends cell survival in vivo while allowing the secretion of factors across semipermeable capsules.

Kinetics and thermodynamics of first-order Markov chain copolymerization

open access: yes, 2014
We report a theoretical study of stochastic processes modeling the growth of first-order Markov copolymers, as well as the reversed reaction of depolymerization. These processes are ruled by kinetic equations describing both the attachment and detachment
