Caldesmon regulates actin dynamics to influence cranial neural crest migration in Xenopus [PDF]
Caldesmon (CaD) is an important actin modulator that associates with actin filaments to regulate cell morphology and motility. Although extensively studied in cultured cells, there is little functional information regarding the role of CaD in migrating ...

Baculovirus Expression and Functional Analysis of Vpa2 Proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
The mode of action underlying the insecticidal activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) binary pesticidal protein Vpb/Vpa (formerly Vip1/Vip2) is uncertain. In this study, three recombinant baculoviruses were constructed using Bac-to-Bac technology to

The Space Within: How Architected Voids Promote Tissue Formation
This review explores the role of void spaces in tissue engineering scaffolds and examines four key methods for introducing porosity into hydrogels at different scales. It discusses sacrificial templating, microgels, phase separation, and 3D printing, highlighting principles, advantages, and limitations. It also addresses emerging strategies integrating

High-resolution three-dimensional views of membrane-associated clathrin and cytoskeleton in critical-point-dried macrophages. [PDF]
We obtained high-resolution topographical information about the distribution of clathrin and cytoskeletal filaments on cytoplasmic membrane surfaces of macrophages spreading onto glass coverslips by both critical-point drying of broken-open cells and ...

Sculpting the Future of Bone: The Evolution of Absorbable Materials in Orthopedics
This review summarizes the current status of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic absorbable materials in orthopedic applications, and highlights several innovative strategies designed to enhance mechanical performance, control degradation, and promote bioactivity. We also discuss the progress and translational potential of absorbable materials in treating

Reversal of aging-induced increases in aortic stiffness by targeting cytoskeletal protein-protein interfaces [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The proximal aorta normally functions as a critical shock absorber that protects small downstream vessels from damage by pressure and flow pulsatility generated by the heart during systole.

Distribution of the cell substratum attachment (CSAT) antigen on myogenic and fibroblastic cells in culture. [PDF]
Previous studies (Neff et al., 1982, J. Cell. Biol. 95:654-666; Decker et al., 1984. J. Cell. Biol. 99:1388-1404) have described a monoclonal antibody (CSAT Mab) directed against a complex of three integral membrane glycoproteins of 120,000-160,000 mol ...
