B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Thinned-Young Apple Polyphenols Inhibit Halitosis-Related Bacteria Through Damage to the Cell Membrane

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The thinned young apple is a by-product and is generally discarded in the orchard during fruit thinning. The polyphenol content of thinned young apples is about 10 times more than that of ripe apples.

Is resistance to ischaemia of motor axons in diabetic subjects due to membrane depolarization? [PDF]

, 1990
The reasons for the resistance to ischaemia of peripheral nerves in diabetics are not well understood. We have now explored whether axonal depolarization underlies this phenomenon, as has previously been proposed.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Role of physiological ClC-1 Cl- ion channel regulation for the excitability and function of working skeletal muscle. [PDF]

, 2016
Electrical membrane properties of skeletal muscle fibers have been thoroughly studied over the last five to six decades. This has shown that muscle fibers from a wide range of species, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, are all ...

Dependence of serosal membrane potential on mucosal membrane potential in toad urinary bladder

Biophysical Journal, 1975
Ussing's model for sodium transport across epithelia assumes the existence of two barriers in series; the outer barrier behaves as a sodium electrode and the inner barrier as a potassium electrode (Koefoed-Johnsen and Ussing, 1958); furthermore, these membranes are supposed to be independent of one another.

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Determination of a Robust Assay for Human Sperm Membrane Potential Analysis

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
Mammalian sperm must undergo a complex process called capacitation in order to fertilize the egg. During this process, hyperpolarization of the sperm plasma membrane has been mostly studied in mouse, and associated to its importance in the preparation to

Seeing the Light: The Use of Zebrafish for Optogenetic Studies of the Heart

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Optogenetics, involving the optical measurement and manipulation of cellular activity with genetically encoded light-sensitive proteins (“reporters” and “actuators”), is a powerful experimental technique for probing (patho-)physiological function ...
