Collective cell motion in an epithelial sheet can be quantitatively described by a stochastic interacting particle model. [PDF]
Modelling the displacement of thousands of cells that move in a collective way is required for the simulation and the theoretical analysis of various biological processes.

ABSTRACT The ATP‐binding cassette transporter MDR1 P‐glycoprotein (syn. ABCB1) is an efflux carrier at the cell membrane that regulates drug absorption, distribution, and elimination. At the blood–brain barrier, MDR1 restricts brain entry of potentially neurotoxic drugs, such as ivermectin. In dogs and cats, MDR1 (syn.

Monoclonal Antibodies 13A4 and AC133 Do Not Recognize the Canine Ortholog of Mouse and Human Stem Cell Antigen Prominin-1 (CD133). [PDF]
The pentaspan membrane glycoprotein prominin-1 (CD133) is widely used in medicine as a cell surface marker of stem and cancer stem cells. It has opened new avenues in stem cell-based regenerative therapy and oncology.

Carbonic Anhydrase Activity in Madin Darby Canine Kidney Cells
Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) renal epithelial cell cultures have been investigated with respect to their potency to express carbonic anhydrase activity using histochemical methods. Acetazolamide inhibitable carbonic anhydrase activity could be detected in the cytoplasmic compartment as well as in the apical membrane of cells when grown on solid ...

Characterization of cholinergic receptors in Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. [PDF]
Muscarinic-type cholinergic receptors coupled to the phosphoinositide (PI) second messenger system are reported to be present in the inner medullary collecting duct cells. Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells have several characteristics of collecting duct cells and have been shown to respond to muscarinic agonists. To determine if MDCK cells have PI-

Targeting Cellular Lipid Rafts for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Illuminating lipid rafts within intact cells using dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP). Targeting lipid rafts with the protein ostreolysin A allows the selective delivery of DNP‐compatible radicals, generating hyperpolarization of nuclear spins in the lipid raft. Lipid rafts serve as important platforms for membrane and signaling proteins.

Patient‐specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into alveolar type II cells (iAT2s), expanded as 3D alveolospheres, and grown at physiologically relevant air–liquid interface (ALI). This study shows for the first time the infectability of iAT2s by the influenza A virus (IAV) and proves their responsiveness to the well ...

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...

Hyperosmolality regulates endothelin release by Madin-Darby canine kidney cells. [PDF]
ET release by the renal epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line was investigated under isosmotic (300 mosmol/kg H2O; pH 7.4) and hyperosmotic (400, 500, or 600 mosmol/kg H2O) culture and assay conditions by the use of a specific and sensitive RIA. During isosmotic incubation, MDCK cells, which may be of collecting duct origin, secreted by

Strain Agnostic Influenza Virus Propagation in a Serum‐Free, Suspension‐Adapted MDCK Cell Line
ABSTRACT Background The continuing circulation and evolution of seasonal influenza viruses remains a public health and socioeconomic threat on a global scale. Viral surveillance and vaccination of the public have been relied upon to confer and boost immunity in the population. Traditionally, influenza strains are propagated in embryonated chicken eggs,
