ABSTRACT Cooperativity between cytoskeletal proteins is crucial for spatiotemporal coordination in biological processes, like oogenesis. In mammalian and Drosophila oogenesis, proper assembly and function of actin networks require coordination between actin assembly factors Spire and formins, as well as actin‐associated proteins like myosins and Rab ...

ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), primarily Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract and an important risk factor for IBD‐associated cancer. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota dysbiosis, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and immune microenvironment remodeling

A nanobody-based toolset to investigate the role of protein localization and dispersal in Drosophila
The role of protein localization along the apical-basal axis of polarized cells is difficult to investigate in vivo, partially due to lack of suitable tools.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Hyperammonemic stress suppresses ACTA2 expression and induces F‐actin cytoskeletal remodeling in astrocytes. The resulting inhibition of FAK/c‐Src signaling contributes to apoptosis, G2/M arrest, AQP4‐mediated swelling and junction‐associated proteins dysregulation, revealing a central role for ACTA2‐dependent cytoskeletal dysfunction in hepatic ...

[Extrauterine mislocated IUD].
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is a safe and effective method of contraception, widely used all over the world. The most common IUD complications include heavy bleeding, painful cramps, expulsion, complete or partial uterine perforation, infertility caused by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and an increased risk for septic and spontaneous ...

Deficiency in class III PI3-kinase confers postnatal lethality with IBD-like features in zebrafish
The functions of the class III PI3-kinase (PIK3C3) in gut homeostasis and innate immunity are poorly understood. Here the authors show that PIK3C3-deficient zebrafishes develop intestinal injury and inflammation due to mislocalization of cell junction ...

Perception of our visual environment strongly depends on saccadic eye movements, which in turn are calibrated by saccadic adaptation mechanisms elicited by systematic movement errors. Current models of saccadic adaptation assume that visual error signals

Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Heterogenous Neuropathology in a Pedigree with RAB39B‐Related Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background In 2015, we reported a family with Parkinson's disease resulting from the RAB39B p.G192R (c.574G>A) variant. Since then, two affected brothers from the family have undergone autopsy. Objectives To characterize neuropathological findings, assess intracellular distribution of RAB39B protein, and examine the effect of p.G192R on α ...
