The Fly Sensitizing Pigment Enhances UV Spectral Sensitivity While Preventing Polarization-Induced Artifacts

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Microvillar photoreceptors are intrinsically capable of detecting the orientation of e-vector of linearly polarized light. They provide most invertebrates with an additional sensory channel to detect important features of their visual environment ...

Intrinsic chiroptical responsivity in self‐powered organic photodiodes for polarization‐tunable optical convolution

InfoMat, EarlyView.
Self‐powered chiral organic photodiodes function as polarization‐sensitive convolutional filters for circularly polarized light‐driven optical convolutional neural networks. This conceptually innovative architecture enables dynamic weight modulation, bias‐free operation, and exceptional noise resilience, boosting feature extraction fidelity from 0.15 ...

Characterization of the Adherence of Clostridium difficile Spores: The Integrity of the Outermost Layer Affects Adherence Properties of Spores of the Epidemic Strain R20291 to Components of the Intestinal Mucosa [PDF]

, 2016
Indexación: Web of Science.Clostridium difficile is the causative agent of the most frequently reported nosocomial diarrhea worldwide. The high incidence of recurrent infection is the main clinical challenge of C. difficile infections (CBI). Formation of

PeakForce Tapping resolves individual microvilli on living cells [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Recognition, 2015
Microvilli are a common structure found on epithelial cells that increase the apical surface thus enhancing the transmembrane transport capacity and also serve as one of the cell's mechanosensors. These structures are composed of microfilaments and cytoplasm, covered by plasma membrane.

Refractory Lung Diseases: From Cellular Structures, Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Strategies

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Refractory lung diseases (RLDs) encompass a spectrum of progressive pulmonary disorders, including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). These conditions are defined by poor responsiveness to current therapeutic interventions and pose substantial clinical ...

Cadherin rules microvilli

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2005
![Graphic][1] Follicle cells with extra Cad99C (red) have much longer apical microvilli.A cadherin in flies concentrates not on sticking cells together, say D'Alterio et al.

Proteomic Characterization of Isolated Retinal Pigment Epithelium Microvilli [PDF]

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2004
Polarized epithelial cells are characterized by displaying compartmentalized functions associated with differential distribution of transporters, structural proteins, and signaling molecules on their apical and basolateral surfaces. Their apical surfaces frequently elaborate microvilli, which vary in structure according to the specific type and ...

Migrasomes, Matrix‐Bound Nanovesicles, and More: Messengers in the Matrix

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and particles (EPs) are diverse micro‐ and nanoparticles that circulate in bodily fluids and can attach to, or be deposited onto, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and other surfaces. To date, the nomenclature and classification of matrix‐bound or matrix‐associated EVs and EPs (MEVPs) have been unclear, largely due to

Freeze/thaw stress induces organelle remodeling and membrane recycling in cryopreserved human mature oocytes [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: Our aim was to evaluate the ultrastructure of human metaphase II oocytes subjected to slow freezing and fixed after thawing at different intervals during post-thaw rehydration.

ARHGAP18-ezrin functions as an autoregulatory module for RhoA in the assembly of distinct actin-based structures

eLife
The location of different actin-based structures is largely regulated by Rho GTPases through specific effectors. We use the apical aspect of epithelial cells as a model system to investigate how RhoA is locally regulated to contribute to two distinct ...
