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 ...

Desmosomal Molecules In and Out of Adhering Junctions: Normal and Diseased States of Epidermal, Cardiac and Mesenchymally Derived Cells

Dermatology Research and Practice, 2010
Current cell biology textbooks mention only two kinds of cell-to-cell adhering junctions coated with the cytoplasmic plaques: the desmosomes (maculae adhaerentes), anchoring intermediate-sized filaments (IFs), and the actin microfilament-anchoring ...

Exposure to low pH induces molecular level changes in the marine worm, Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]

, 2015
© 2015 Elsevier Inc. Fossil fuel emissions and changes in net land use lead to an increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentration and a subsequent decrease of ocean pH. Noticeable effects on organisms' calcification rate, shell structure and energy metabolism

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.

Topological phonon modes in filamentous structures

, 2011
Topological phonon modes are robust vibrations localized at the edges of special structures. Their existence is determined by the bulk properties of the structures and, as such, the topological phonon modes are stable to changes occurring at the edges ...

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.

Monocytic cells become less compressible but more deformable upon activation.

PLoS ONE, 2014
AimsMonocytes play a significant role in the development of atherosclerosis. During the process of inflammation, circulating monocytes become activated in the blood stream.

Compartmentalisation and localisation of the translation initiation factor (eIF) 4F complex in normally growing fibroblasts [PDF]

, 2006
Previous observations of association of mRNAs and ribosomes with subcellular structures highlight the importance of localised translation. However, little is known regarding associations between eukaryotic translation initiation factors and cellular ...

Determining properties of human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocytes using spatially resolved electromechanical metrics

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In this study, we use human‐induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC‐CM) experiments and computational modelling to identify the mechanism of action of drug compounds. In the hiPSC‐CM experiments, optical measurements of cell collections are recorded in the baseline case and after drug exposure.

Head-neck domain of Arabidopsis myosin XI, MYA2, fused with GFP produces F-actin patterns that coincide with fast organelle streaming in different plant cells

BMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background The cytoskeletal mechanisms that underlie organelle transport in plants are intimately linked to acto-myosin function. This function is mediated by the attachment of myosin heads to F-actin and the binding of cargo to the tails.
