The distribution of cytoplasmic microtubules throughout the cell cycle of the centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris: their role in nuclear migration and positioning the mitotic spindle during cytokinesis. [PDF]
, 1986 The cell cycle of the marine centric diatom Stephanopyxis turris consists of a series of spatially and temporally well-ordered events. We have used immunofluorescence microscopy to examine the role of cytoplasmic microtubules in these events.

Tailored Xenogeneic‐Free Polymer Surface Promotes Dynamic Migration of Intestinal Stem Cells
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces a PoLymer‐coated Ultra‐stable Surface (PLUS), a nitrogen plasma‐treated poly(ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate), as a stable xenogeneic‐free platform for intestinal stem cell culture. PLUS enhances cell attachment, supports actin‐driven migration, and retains functionality after 3 years of storage. Promoting cytoskeletal reorganization,

Peptide‐Induced Ferroelectricity in Charge‐Transfer Supramolecular Materials
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Bio‐inspired supramolecular charge‐transfer amphiphiles self‐assemble into nanoribbons in water, where peptide chirality‐induced symmetry breaking generates robust ferroelectricity across multiple systems. These water‐processable organic ferroelectrics also enhance neuronal outgrowth and electrophysiological maturity, offering a versatile strategy for ...

The RanGTP pathway: from nucleo-cytoplasmic transport to spindle assembly and beyond
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 The small GTPase Ran regulates the interaction of transport receptors with a number of cellular cargo proteins. The high affinity binding of the GTP-bound form of Ran to import receptors promotes cargo release, whereas its binding to export receptors ...

Model of ionic currents through microtubule nanopores and the lumen
, 2009 It has been suggested that microtubules and other cytoskeletal filaments may act as electrical transmission lines. An electrical circuit model of the microtubule is constructed incorporating features of its cylindrical structure with nanopores in its ...

Macrophages Mediate Mesoscale Brain Mechanical Homeostasis
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We investigated the role of infiltrating immune cells in sculpting the developing brain. Using Brillouin microscopy and active microrheology, we found microglia actively maintain tissue viscoelasticity. Moreover, colony stimulating factor one receptor (CSF1R)‐driven stromal remodeling alters brain mechanics in vivo. These findings link immune activity,

The unusual microtubule polarity in teleost retinal pigment epithelial cells. [PDF]
, 1988 In cells of the teleost retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), melanin granules disperse into the RPE cells long apical projections in response to light onset, and aggregate toward the base of the RPE cell in response to dark onset.
