Dictyostelium: The Mathematician's Organism [PDF]
This article was to have been written by Kees Weijer, an outstanding pioneer in Dictyostelium research. It was (and is) to celebrate J.T. Bonner's and Weijer's contributions to the field and those of the other great pioneers. Unfortunately, Weijer was unable to write his article, due to ill health and since I have some knowledge of this field, I took ...

The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL) are a group of inherited, severe neurodegenerative disorders also known as Batten disease. Juvenile NCL (JNCL) is caused by recessive loss-of-function mutations in CLN3, which encodes a transmembrane protein that ...

Cytokinins (CKs) are a family of evolutionarily conserved growth regulating hormones. While CKs are well-characterized in plant systems, these N6-substituted adenine derivatives are found in a variety of organisms beyond plants, including bacteria, fungi,

Cell migration directionality and speed are independently regulated by RasG and Gβ in Dictyostelium cells in electrotaxis. [PDF]
Motile cells manifest increased migration speed and directionality in gradients of stimuli, including chemoattractants, electrical potential and substratum stiffness.

Modeling multi-cellular systems using sub-cellular elements [PDF]
We introduce a model for describing the dynamics of large numbers of interacting cells. The fundamental dynamical variables in the model are sub-cellular elements, which interact with each other through phenomenological intra- and inter-cellular ...

ABSTRACT This review provides an in‐depth exploration of capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (CE–MS) in biomolecular research from 2020 to 2024. CE–MS emerges as a versatile and powerful tool due to its numerous advantages, facilitating the analysis of various biomolecules, including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, and other metabolites ...

Hisactophilin is involved in osmoprotection in Dictyostelium [PDF]
Dictyostelium cells exhibit an unusual stress response as they protect themselves against hyperosmotic stress. Cytoskeletal proteins are recruited from the cytosolic pool to the cell cortex, thereby reinforcing it. In order to gain more insight into the osmoprotective mechanisms of this amoeba, we used 1-D and 2-D gel electrophoresis to identify new ...

SUMMARY Lipid droplet formation and subsequent steatosis (the abnormal retention of lipids within a cell) has been reported to contribute to hepatotoxicity and is an adverse effect of many pharmacological agents including the antiepileptic drug valproic ...

Dictyostelium cells migrate similarly on surfaces of varying chemical composition. [PDF]
During cell migration, cell-substrate binding is required for pseudopod anchoring to move the cell forward, yet the interactions with the substrate must be sufficiently weak to allow parts of the cell to de-adhere in a controlled manner during typical ...
