Inhibition of influenza virus infection by garlic oil and juice in cell culture

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Influenza virus infections are a significant global health and economic burden. Garlic (Allium sativum) has been proposed to have antimicrobial properties. Raw garlic consumption has been widely advocated on the internet to fight influenza by many public health agencies, information of which is easily accessible by the public. There

Distinct susceptibility and applicability of MDCK derivatives for influenza virus research. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Madin-Darby Canine Kidney (MDCK) cells are widely utilized as a substrate for influenza virus isolation and propagation due to the high yields of virus.

Toward Dynamic Liquid Cell Scaffold: Photoreversible Ion Gels Exhibiting Light‐Induced Sol‐Gel Transitions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Light‐programmable, non‐cytotoxic ion gels based on ABC triblock copolymers undergo photoreversible sol‐gel transitions, crossing the rheological boundary (tan δ ∼ 1). UV–vis light irradiation modulates the lifetime of reversible junctions, switching the scaffold between liquid‐like and solid (gel)‐like states.

Mechanical Regulation of Epithelial Tissue Homeostasis

Physical Review X, 2021
Despite recent efforts to understand homeostasis in epithelial tissues, there are many unknowns surrounding this steady state. It is considered to be regulated by mechanoresponse, but unlike for single cells, this idea remains heavily debated for tissues.

Newly identified properties of known pharmaceuticals and myxobacterial small molecules revealed by screening for autophagy modulators

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Autophagy is a cellular degradation process involved in, for example, immune responses to pathogens and neurodegeneration. To identify modulators of autophagy, we developed a microscopy‐based screening assay and identified previously unknown autophagy‐modulating activities in known drugs and natural products from myxobacteria and fungi.

A Preclinical Model to Assess Intestinal Barrier Integrity Using Canine Enteroids and Colonoids

Biology
While two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures, such as Caco-2 and Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are widely used in a variety of biological models, these two-dimensional in vitro systems present inherent limitations in replicating the complexities of ...

Chlorpromazine Induces Basolateral Aquaporin-2 Accumulation via F-Actin Depolymerization and Blockade of Endocytosis in Renal Epithelial Cells

Cells, 2020
We previously showed that in polarized Madin–Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is continuously targeted to the basolateral plasma membrane from which it is rapidly retrieved by clathrin-mediated endocytosis.

Liquid flow through monolayers of cultured Madin‐Darby canine kidney cells [PDF]

Experimental Physiology, 1992
The rate of liquid flow per unit area (Jv/A) through Madin‐Darby canine kidney cell monolayers has been studied at temperatures between 0 and 38 degrees C and at transmonolayer hydrostatic pressures between 14 and 44 cmH2O. Jv/A decreased exponentially with time during application of a constant pressure to the free surface of each monolayer.

Antigen specificity, not tissue compartment, determines clonal sharing among respiratory tract CD8+ resident memory T cells

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Tissue‐resident memory (Trm) CD8+ T cells in the upper and lower respiratory tract play an instrumental role in combatting influenza virus. While CD8+ Trm populations in these compartments differ in longevity and developmental requirements, it remains unclear whether they share clonotypes, indicating a common origin, or are seeded by distinct ...
