Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...

Association of p60c-src with endosomal membranes in mammalian fibroblasts. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
We have examined the subcellular localization of p60c-src in mammalian fibroblasts. Analysis of indirect immunofluorescence by three-dimensional optical sectioning microscopy revealed a granular cytoplasmic staining that co-localized with the microtubule

Molecular Mechanisms of Extracellular Vesicle Biogenesis and Their Impact on the Design of Custom EVs

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are pivotal mediators of intercellular communication and disease, yet the fundamental mechanisms controlling their biogenesis and cargo selection remain unclear. This limitation hinders their diagnostic utility and therapeutic development.

Microtubule-associated protein, MAP2, is a calcium-binding protein

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1988
Calcium has been suggested to be an important element in the regulation of microtubule dynamics 'in vivo'. In this report we have analyzed the possibility that microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) binds calcium. MAP2 was blue-stained with the cationic carbocyanine dye 'stains-all' in a similar way to that of calcium-binding proteins and bound 45Ca ...

HURP facilitates spindle assembly by stabilizing microtubules and working synergistically with TPX2

open access: yesNature Communications
In vertebrate spindles, most microtubules are formed via branching microtubule nucleation, whereby microtubules nucleate along the side of pre-existing microtubules.
