Coupled Effects of Mechanics, Geometry, and Chemistry on Bio-Membrane Behavior [PDF]
, 2013 Lipid bilayer membranes are models for cell membranes--the structure that helps regulate cell function. Cell membranes are heterogeneous, and the coupling between composition and shape gives rise to complex behaviors that are important to regulation ...

Comparing the paths of Hedgehog release in artificial and natural settings
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hh morphogens require solubilization factors to overcome their tight association with the plasma membrane and signal to distant cells, but the precise functions of these factors are controversial. Here, we use published in vivo observations as the most relevant evidence to test their suggested functions and discuss contradictions and gaps between in ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.RNA profiling of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) from blood samples of men undergoing prostate biopsy identifies transcripts associated with clinically significant prostate cancer. Integrative analysis with public tumor datasets links EV‐derived gene signatures to tumor stage and progression‐free survival, highlighting CASP3, XRCC2, and RIT1 ...

Diphtheria toxin T-domain as a tool for inducing lipid vesicle fusion
Communications ChemistryMembrane fusion is fundamental for many biological processes, including subcellular compartmentalization, cell growth, and exo- and endocytosis. It also plays a key role in the fabrication of artificial membrane structures, particularly vesicles. However,

HAMLET interacts with lipid membranes and perturbs their structure and integrity.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundCell membrane interactions rely on lipid bilayer constituents and molecules inserted within the membrane, including specific receptors. HAMLET (human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells) is a tumoricidal complex of partially unfolded ...

Cancer‐associated mutations in endometriosis reframe a benign disease through molecular oncology
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review aims to comprehensively analyse cancer‐associated somatic mutations (CAMs) present in endometriotic lesions, emphasizing their biological roles, spatial distribution and implications for translational applications in medicine. By contextualizing a benign state within a genomic framework, this analysis seeks to establish its value as a ...

Vesicular traffic in polarized epithelial cells : identification and characterization of general and epithelial specific factors [PDF]
, 1994 Polarized epithelial cells are differentiated into apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains separated by tight junctions. The apical cell surface usually faces the external milieu, the basolateral domain provides cell-cell and cell-substratum ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...
