Analysis of Microtubules and Microtubule-Organizing Center at the Immune Synapse. [PDF]
The immune synapse (IS) is a specialized structure that enables cell-cell communication between immune cells. As such, it involves direct cell-to-cell contact. It is sustained by cytoskeletal components that allow the intracellular polarization of different organelles and the surface re-organization of signaling and adhesion receptors.

AKAP6 orchestrates the nuclear envelope microtubule-organizing center by linking golgi and nucleus via AKAP9 [PDF]
The switch from centrosomal microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) to non-centrosomal MTOCs during differentiation is poorly understood. Here, we identify AKAP6 as key component of the nuclear envelope MTOC.

Phosphoproteins are components of mitotic microtubule organizing centers. [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation has been suggested as an important control mechanism for the events leading toward the initiation and completion of mitosis. Using a monoclonal antibody recognizing a class of phosphoproteins abundant in mitotic cells, we demonstrated the localization of a subset of these phosphoproteins to several discrete mitotic structures ...

Mobility, Microtubule Nucleation and Structure of Microtubule-organizing Centers in Multinucleated Hyphae ofAshbya gossypii [PDF]
We investigated the migration of multiple nuclei in hyphae of the filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii. Three types of cytoplasmic microtubule (cMT)-dependent nuclear movements were characterized using live cell imaging: short-range oscillations (up to 4.5 μm/min), rotations (up to 180° in 30 s), and long-range nuclear bypassing (up to 9 μm/min).

Microtubule-organizing center polarity and the immunological synapse: protein kinase C and beyond [PDF]
Cytoskeletal polarization is crucial for many aspects of immune function, ranging from neutrophil migration to the sampling of gut flora by intestinal dendritic cells.

The impact of post-translational modifications and subcellular localization on NLRP3 inflammasome activation: A systematic review [PDF]
Background The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is crucial for innate immunity. However, its uncontrolled and dysregulated activation may cause various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.

Cytoskeletal remodeling via CAMSAP3 downregulation drives resistance to osimertinib in NSCLC cells [PDF]
Osimertinib, also known as AZD9291, is a highly potent and selective EGFR mutants (including exon 19 deletion, L858R/T790M) inhibitor that significantly inhibits EGFR phosphorylation signaling. However, acquired resistance to osimertinib is inevitable in
