Drosophila non-muscle myosin II motor activity determines the rate of tissue folding
eLife, 2016 Non-muscle cell contractility is critical for tissues to adopt shape changes. Although, the non-muscle myosin II holoenzyme (myosin) is a molecular motor that powers contraction of actin cytoskeleton networks, recent studies have questioned the ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Taxanes are widely used chemotherapeutics whose effects on cellular mechanics remain poorly understood. We show that paclitaxel induces rapid cellular contraction by promoting GEF‐H1 dissociation from microtubules and non‐muscle myosin II activation through RhoA/ROCK.

eLife, 2014 Plant cells divide using the phragmoplast, a microtubule-based structure that directs vesicles secretion to the nascent cell plate. The phragmoplast forms at the cell center and expands to reach a specified site at the cell periphery, tens or hundreds of

Biomédica: revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud, 2002 Se construyó una genoteca de ADNc representativa de los estadios asexuales de Plasmodium falciparum, en el vector lZipLox. Esta genoteca (de la cepa colombiana FCB2) y otra genoteca construida en lZAP II (de la cepa Dd2), se rastrearon en busca de genes ...

Prolonged function and optimization of actomyosin motility for upscaled network-based biocomputation
New Journal of Physics, 2021 Significant advancements have been made towards exploitation of naturally available molecular motors and their associated cytoskeletal filaments in nanotechnological applications. For instance, myosin motors and actin filaments from muscle have been used

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Lactoferrin promotes wound healing by activating MAPK, PI3K/Akt, and extracellular matrix pathways, enhancing fibroblast remodeling, proliferation, and re‐epithelialization. These mechanisms highlight its therapeutic potential in inflammation control, tissue repair, and remodeling.

ATZ‐1 promotes DNA replication efficiency to maintain normal meiotic function
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Absence of ATZ‐1 interferes with meiotic DNA replication and cell cycle function via CHK‐1. This causes downstream defects associated with DNA damage and genomic integrity. Taken together, this study suggests that ATZ‐1 influences DNA replication efficiency and cell cycle function to maintain normal meiotic function.
