ASN Neuro, 2020 Fifty years have passed since the discovery of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) by Lawrence Eng and colleagues. Now recognized as a member of the intermediate filament family of proteins, it has become a subject for study in fields as diverse as ...

Intercompartmental communication in senescence
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Senescent cells experience structural changes in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosomes, nucleus, and cytoskeleton. These alterations disrupt crosstalk among cellular compartments, impairing vesicular trafficking, contact sites, and molecular flow.

Molecular Oncology, 2022 Radiation therapy can induce cellular senescence in cancer cells, leading to short‐term tumor growth arrest but increased long‐term recurrence. To better understand the molecular mechanisms involved, we developed a model of radiation‐induced senescence ...

Intermediate Filaments in Motion: Observations of Intermediate Filaments in Cells Using Green Fluorescent Protein-Vimentin [PDF]
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 1999 In the movies presented in this essay we have demonstrated that IFs are dynamic in nature. Movements of IFs include both extension and retraction and are dependent on the presence of intact MTs. Furthermore, we have characterized a possible intermediate of IF turnover, IF fragments.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

A knock-in mouse model for the R120G mutation of αB-crystallin recapitulates human hereditary myopathy and cataracts. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 An autosomal dominant missense mutation in αB-crystallin (αB-R120G) causes cataracts and desmin-related myopathy, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we report the development of an αB-R120G crystallin knock-in mouse model of these disorders.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective The Gold Coast criteria permit diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) even without upper motor neuron (UMN) signs. However, whether ALS patients with UMN signs (ALSwUMN) and those without (ALSwoUMN) share similar characteristics and prognoses remains unclear.

Weaving a pattern from disparate threads: lamin function in nuclear assembly and DNA replication [PDF]
, 1994 The major residual structure that remains associated with the nuclear envelope following extraction of isolated nuclei or oocyte germinal vesicles with non-ionic detergents, nucleases and high salt is the lamina (Fawcett, 1966; Aaronson and Blobel ...

Stress relaxation in F-actin solutions by severing
, 2019 Networks of filamentous actin (F-actin) are important for the mechanics of most animal cells. These cytoskeletal networks are highly dynamic, with a variety of actin-associated proteins that control cross-linking, polymerization and force generation in ...
