A diffusiophoretic mechanism for ATP-driven transport without motor proteins

Nature Physics, 2021
The healthy growth and maintenance of a biological system depends on the precise spatial organization of molecules within the cell through the dissipation of energy. Reaction–diffusion mechanisms can facilitate this organization, as can directional cargo

What is axoplasmic transport? Considering the role of exercise training: A mini review [PDF]

Journal of Exercise & Organ Cross Talk, 2022
Like other cells in the body, nerve cells need many proteins and substances to maintain homeostasis. As we know, the transcription and translation of proteins and necessary cellular substances occurs in the cell nucleus.

The roles of dynein and myosin VI motor proteins in endocytosis.

Journal of Cell Science, 2022
Endocytosis is indispensable for multiple cellular processes, including signalling, cell adhesion, migration, as well as the turnover of plasma membrane lipids and proteins.

Molecular Motors–Nature’s Efficiency at Work

Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2022
Nature has generated sophisticated and very efficient molecular motors, employed for nanoscale transport at the intracellular level. As a complementary tool to nanofluidics, these motors have been envisioned for nanotechnological devices.

Critical assessment of coiled-coil predictions based on protein structure data

Scientific Reports, 2021
Coiled-coil regions were among the first protein motifs described structurally and theoretically. The simplicity of the motif promises that coiled-coil regions can be detected with reasonable accuracy and precision in any protein sequence.

Oscillatory movement of a dynein-microtubule complex crosslinked with DNA origami

eLife, 2022
Bending of cilia and flagella occurs when axonemal dynein molecules on one side of the axoneme produce force and move toward the microtubule (MT) minus end.

Micron-scale geometrical features of microtubules as regulators of microtubule organization

eLife, 2021
The organization of micron-sized, multi-microtubule arrays from individual microtubules is essential for diverse cellular functions. The microtubule polymer is largely viewed as a passive building block during the organization process.

Molecular, morphological and functional properties of tunnelling nanotubes between normal and cancer urothelial cells: New insights from the in vitro model mimicking the situation after surgical removal of the urothelial tumor

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Tunnelling nanotubes (TNTs) are membranous connections that represent a unique type of intercellular communication in different cell types. They are associated with cell physiology and cancer pathology.
