A Novel Antigen Sensitive to Calcium Chelation That is Associated with the Tip Links and Kinocilial Links of Sensory Hair Bundles [PDF]
Tip links are extracellular, cell-surface-associated filaments of unknown molecular composition that are thought to gate the mechanotransducer channel of the sensory hair cell.

Cell shape changes underlie animal development, physiology, and disease. The cell surface is mechanosensitive to the microenvironment and cytoskeleton activities, which generate plasma membrane topographies recognized and affected by Arp2/3 actin network induction pathways to remodel cell shape during immune cell migration, neural progenitor cell ...

Experimental pneumonia induced by a Bordetella parapertussis-like organism in the ovine and murine lung : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment (70%) of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Veterinary Pathology at Massey University [PDF]
Thirty-four specific pathogen-free (SPF) Swiss mice were intranasally inoculated with a suspension containing about 3 x 10 7 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml of a B. parapertussis-like organism isolated from pneumonic ovine lung.

Molluscan Shells, Spicules, and Gladii Are Evolutionarily Deeply Conserved
Evolutionarily conserved transcription factor encoding genes and other genes are expressed in the epithelia that give rise to spicules (green) and/or shells (blue) in developmental stages of diverse mollusks, including polyplacophorans, aplacophorans, scaphopods, and cephalopods.

This comprehensive review highlights the role of taste‐active peptides (TAPs) in modulating food taste and promoting health. It explores the taste profile, structure, sources, interactions with taste receptors, bioactivity, and potential applications of TAPs within the food and nutraceutical industries.

Morphometry of choroid plexus epithelial cells in neurodegenerative diseases
The choroid plexus not only secretes the majority of cerebrospinal fluid but also controls the circadian rhythm, which can be impaired in the presence of neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, many studies have reported the contribution of choroid plexus abnormalities to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease ...

Dynamic microvilli sculpt bristles at nanometric scale
AbstractOrganisms generate shapes across size scales. Whereas patterning and morphogenesis of macroscopic tissues has been extensively studied, the principles underlying the formation of micrometric and submicrometric structures remain largely enigmatic. Individual cells of polychaete annelids, so-called chaetoblasts, are associated with the generation

Retention of differentiated properties in an established dog kidney epithelial cell line (MDCK). [PDF]
Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells grown in tissue culture have the morphological properties of distal tubular epithelial cells, form tight junctions, and lack several proximal tubular enzyme markers.
