The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of proposed relationship between hyperglycaemia, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), active BCR‐related (ABR), RhoA and actin organization of feto‐placental arterial endothelial cells (fpEC). Hyperglycaemia upregulates ABR, which in turn increases RhoA activation.

The sophisticated survival strategies of the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes [PDF]
, 2010 The function of the ActA protein of Listeria monocytogenes has been partially elucidated. These results illustrate the sophistication with which intracellular pathogens like Listeria use the host cell to their advantage, and have provided new insights ...

A role for synapsin tetramerization in synaptic vesicle clustering
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Model depicting how synapsin oligomers could serve both as a long‐range linker that interconnects synaptic vesicles to form a reserve pool of vesicles and as a spacer that circumvents short‐range electrostatic repulsion between the vesicles.

Hsp27 anti-sense oligonucleotides sensitize the microtubular cytoskeleton of Chinese hamster ovary cells grown at low pH to 42 degrees C-induced reorganization [PDF]
, 2004 Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells maintained in vitro at pH 6.7 were used to model cells in the acidic environment of tumours. CHO cells grown at pH 6.7 develop thermotolerance during 42 degrees C heating at pH 6.7 and their cytoskeletal systems are ...

Polyester Microfilament Woven Fabrics [PDF]
, 2012 Synthetic fiber industry has been enforced to make developments due to the increasing performance demand for textile products. One of the most important developments in synthetic fiber industry, is absolutely producing extremely fine fibers which are named as microfibers and nanofibers (Kaynak & Babaarslan, 2010).

Membrane trafficking of synaptic adhesion molecules
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Synaptic cellular adhesion molecules are surface transmembrane receptors that have been shown to internalize via endocytosis, and possibly also recycle, in a process that has been linked to the function and the turnover of the synaptic contact site.

Mechanical deformation of monocytic THP-1 cells : occurrence of two seqential phases with differential sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors [PDF]
Experimental Biology Online - EBO 2 (1997) 5, 2007 Blood leukocytes can exhibit extensive morphological changes during their passage through small capillary vessels. The human monocytic THP-1 cell line was used to explore the metabolic dependence of these shape changes. Cells were aspirated into micropipettes for determination of the rate of protrusion formation.

Confocal and video imaging of cytoskeleton dynamics in the leech zygote [PDF]
, 2004 Ooplasmic segregation in the late interphase zygote of the leech Theromyzon trizonare is accomplished by reorganization of an ectoplasmic cytoskeleton formed by polar rings and meridional bands.

Persistence of quantal synaptic vesicle recycling in virtual absence of dynamins
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Figure depicts the key finding from this study. While loss of all dynamins severely debilitates synaptic vesicle retrieval following repetitive activity, retrieval and recycling of individual synaptic vesicles following spontaneous fusion or sparse stimulation are minimally affected.
