Ultrastructural Insights Into a Candidatus Parilichlamydia sp. Infection of Gill Goblet Cells in Greater Amberjack

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite recent genomic studies and increased molecular data, epitheliocystis remains an enigmatic fish disease with no experimental in vitro or in vivo models to aid the advancement of research. In this study, we revert to a classical microscopical approach and screen with the electron microscope the epitheliocystis lesions caused by a Ca ...

In vivo analysis of interactions between GFP-labeled microfilaments and plastid stromules

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2004
Background Plastid stromules are stroma-filled tubules that extend from the surface of plastids in higher plants and allow the exchange of protein molecules between plastids.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Matrix (M) Protein Interacts with Actin In Vitro and in Cell Culture

open access: yesViruses, 2018
The virus–host protein interactions that underlie respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) assembly are still not completely defined, despite almost 60 years of research. RSV buds from the apical surface of infected cells, once virion components have been

The IQ67‐domain protein IQD1 regulates fruit shape through complex multiprotein interactions in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Natural genetic variation can be used to improve important crop agronomic traits, and understanding the genetic basis of natural variation in fruit shape can help breeders develop pepper varieties that meet market demand. In this study, we identified a QTL controlling fruit length–width ratio by conventional genetic mapping, encoding a ...

Examination of the relationship between viscoelastic properties and the invasion of ovarian cancer cells by atomic force microscopy

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2020
The mechanical properties of cells could serve as an indicator for disease progression and early cancer diagnosis. This study utilized atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure the viscoelastic properties of ovarian cancer cells and then examined the ...

Measuring position sense

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Position sense is arguably more important than any of the other proprioceptive senses, because it provides us with information about the position of our body and limbs in relationship to one another and to our surroundings; it has been considered to contribute to our self‐awareness.

Dual role for pannexin 1 at synapses: regulating functional and morphological plasticity

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Pannexin 1 (PANX1) regulation of dendritic spines. The postnatal decrease in PANX1 expression could release key spine cytoskeleton‐regulating proteins enabling spine stabilization. Does the physiological decrease in neuronal PANX1 levels across brain development underlie dendritic spine maturation?

Deformability of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells Is Dependent on Vimentin Intermediate Filaments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being studied extensively due to their potential as a therapeutic cell source for many load-bearing tissues. Compression of tissues and the subsequent deformation of cells are just one type physical strain MSCs will need
