The Motility of Mollicutes [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2003 Recent experiments show that the conformation of filament proteins play a role in the motility and morphology of many different types of bacteria. Conformational changes in the protein subunits may produce forces to drive propulsion and cell division. Here we present a molecular mechanism by which these forces can drive cell motion.

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2020 Motile cilia are highly complex hair-like organelles of epithelial cells lining the surface of various organ systems. Genetic mutations (usually with autosomal recessive inheritance) that impair ciliary beating cause a variety of motile ciliopathies, a heterogeneous group of rare disorders. The pathogenetic mechanisms, clinical symptoms and severity of

Motility Assay: Twitching Motility [PDF]
, 2014 Twitching motility is a mode of solid surface translocation that occurs under humid conditions on semisolid or solid surfaces, is dependent on the presence of retractile type IV pili and is independent of the presence of a flagellum. Surface translocation via twitching motility is powered by the extension and retraction of type IV pili and can manifest

Cell Motility and Cancer [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Cell migration is an essential systemic behavior, tightly regulated, of all living cells endowed with directional motility that is involved in the major developmental stages of all complex organisms such as morphogenesis, embryogenesis, organogenesis, adult tissue remodeling, wound healing, immunological cell activities, angiogenesis, tissue repair ...

Cells, 2020 We have previously postulated that unconventional myosin VI (MVI) could be involved in myoblast differentiation. Here, we addressed the mechanism(s) of its involvement using primary myoblast culture derived from the hindlimb muscles of Snell’s waltzer ...

Orbital magnetic resonance imaging is useful in age-related distance esotropia
Journal of Optometry, 2018 Purpose: To describe findings for orbital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with age-related distance esotropia (ARDE). Methods: We compared 31 orbital MRI from patients with ARDE (77 ± 7 SD years) with 2 control groups: 32 orbits from ...

Myosin 7 and its adaptors link cadherins to actin
Nature Communications, 2017 Cadherin is essential for mechanotransduction and myosin-adaptor-harmonin complexes anchor it to actin. Here the authors present the structures of myosin 7 MF2 domains bound to the harmonin PDZ3c domain and give insights into myosin-adaptor-harmonin ...

Caffeine Inhibits EGF-Stimulated Trophoblast Cell Motility through the Inhibition of mTORC2 and Akt. [PDF]
, 2012 Impaired trophoblast invasion is associated with pregnancy disorders such as early pregnancy loss and preeclampsia. There is evidence to suggest that the consumption of caffeine during pregnancy may increase the risk of pregnancy loss; however, little is
