Phosphatidylserine polarization is required for proper Cdc42 localization and for development of cell polarity. [PDF]
, 2010 We used genetically-encoded fluorescent probes to visualize the distribution of phosphatidylserine (PS) in live S. cerevisiae. The majority of the PS was found to reside in the cytosolic leaflet of the plasma membrane.

An early secretory pathway mediated by GNOM-LIKE 1 and GNOM is essential for basal polarity establishment in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
, 2015 Spatial regulation of the plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, or auxin) is essential for plant development. Auxin gradient establishment is mediated by polarly localized auxin transporters, including PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins. Their localization and

Rotational dynamics of colloidal spheres probed with fluorescence recovery after photobleaching [PDF]
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2004 We report a polarized fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (pFRAP) method to measure the rotational dynamics of fluorescent colloids over a wide dynamic range. The method is based on the polarization anisotropy in the fluorescence intensity, generated by bleaching of fluorescently labeled particles with an intense pulse of linearly polarized ...

Improved Model of Fluorescence Recovery Expands the Application of Multiphoton Fluorescence Recovery after Photobleaching in Vivo [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2009 Multiphoton fluorescence recovery after photobleaching is a well-established microscopy technique used to measure the diffusion of macromolecules in biological systems. We have developed an improved model of the fluorescence recovery that includes the effects of convective flows within a system.

State‐of‐the‐Art, Insights, and Perspectives for MOFs‐Nanocomposites and MOF‐Derived (Nano)Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Different approaches to MOF‐NP composite formation, such as ship‐in‐a‐bottle, bottle‐around‐the‐ship and in situ one‐step synthesis, are used. Owing to synergistic effects, the advantageous features of the components of the composites are beneficially combined, and their individual drawbacks are mitigated.

Rac1 dynamics in the human opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The small Rho G-protein Rac1 is highly conserved from fungi to humans, with approximately 65% overall sequence identity in Candida albicans. As observed with human Rac1, we show that C.

Microbubble Shell Stiffness Engineering Enhances Ultrasound Imaging, Drug Delivery, and Sonoporation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Shell‐engineered poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) microbubbles with tunable stiffness improve ultrasound imaging and therapy. Adjusting the length of the alkyl chain and the glass transition temperature maintains a narrow microbubble size distribution while enhancing drug loading, sonoporation and the acoustic response.

A dynamic mode of mitotic bookmarking by transcription factors. [PDF]
, 2016 During mitosis, transcription is shut off, chromatin condenses, and most transcription factors (TFs) are reported to be excluded from chromosomes. How do daughter cells re-establish the original transcription program? Recent discoveries that a select set

Bacteria‐Responsive Nanostructured Drug Delivery Systems for Targeted Antimicrobial Therapy
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bacteria‐responsive nanocarriers are designed to release antimicrobials only in the presence of infection‐specific cues. This selective activation ensures drug release precisely at the site of infection, avoiding premature or indiscriminate release, and enhancing efficacy.
