Effects of Tributyltin Chloride on Human Neuronal Differentiation and Mice Brain Development

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the developmental origins of health and disease hypothesis, perinatal exposure to an environmental toxicant during the development of the nervous system could cause a permanent cellular modification that may promote the appearance of neurodegenerative diseases at an older age.

Disruption of Four Kinesin Genes in Dictyostelium

BMC Cell Biology, 2008
Background Kinesin and dynein are the two families of microtubule-based motors that drive much of the intracellular movements in eukaryotic cells. Using a gene knockout strategy, we address here the individual function(s) of four of the 13 kinesin ...

Shared and specific molecular mechanisms of proteasome inhibitors in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neurotoxicity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This study compares the molecular mechanisms of chemotherapy‐related peripheral neurotoxicity of two proteasome inhibitors, bortezomib and carfilzomib, using a multidisciplinary approach to reveal that, alongside shared effects on mitochondria structure and function, the more neurotoxic drug BTZ has specific effects on microtubules and mitochondrial ...

IFT cargo and motors associate sequentially with IFT trains to enter cilia of C. elegans

Nature Communications
Intraflagellar transport (IFT) orchestrates entry of proteins into primary cilia. At the ciliary base, assembled IFT trains, driven by kinesin-2 motors, can transport cargo proteins into the cilium, across the crowded transition zone. How trains assemble

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence (TIRF) Single-Molecule Assay to Analyze the Motility of Kinesin

Bio-Protocol
The motile parameters of kinesin superfamily proteins are fundamental to intracellular transport. Single-molecule motility assays using total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) microscopy are a gold standard technique for measuring the motile ...

New approaches to the chemotherapy of glioblastoma: investigations on doxorubicin nanoparticles, inhibition of PDGF receptors and kinesin Eg5, with emphasis on confocal laser-scanning microscopy

, 2006
The treatment of malignant brain tumors poses a basic challenge in todays cancer therapy. Since the quantitative resection is hardly possible due to the invasive growth of the tumor, prevention of relapse after resection by concomitant irradiation ...

Targeting Cell Cycle Vulnerabilities in Cancers: Emerging Strategies for Therapeutic Development

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Dysregulated cell cycle control often involves alternative compensatory pathways in cancers to maintain its robustness but provide unique targetable vulnerabilities. We overview recent insights on cancer‐specific vulnerabilities across the cell cycle and discuss how these can be used to develop new therapeutic strategies.
