Coordinated force generation of skeletal myosins in myofilaments through motor coupling

Nature Communications, 2017
Skeletal muscle myosin forms large ensembles to generate force against high loads. Using optical tweezers and simulation Kayaet al. provide experimental evidence for cooperative force generation, and describe how the molecular properties of skeletal ...

ER network dynamics are differentially controlled by myosins XI-K, XI-C, XI-E, XI-I, XI-1 and XI-2

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of higher plants is a complex network of tubules and cisternae. Some of the tubules and cisternae are relatively persistent, while others are dynamically moving and remodelling through growth and shrinkage, cycles of ...

A Microenvironment‐Adaptive Scaffold Rejuvenates Peripheral Nerve Regeneration During Aging Via Dual Modulation of Ferroptotic Stimuli in Schwann Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
(i) Aging impairs peripheral nerve regeneration via its dual ferroptosis‐mediated pathologies in senescent schwann cells. (ii) The composite nerve conduit is a symbiosis niche integrating microenvironment‐responsive nanoparticles (Ga‐PTAs) and maxillofacial‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (Mmscs).

Different subcellular localizations and functions of Arabidopsis myosin VIII

BMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background Myosins are actin-activated ATPases that use energy to generate force and move along actin filaments, dragging with their tails different cargos.

Unravelling the Distinct Phenotype and Mechanosensitive Properties of Different Tendon Cell Populations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tendon interfascicular and fascicular matrix cells are isolated and cultured, revealing distinct phenotypes and mechanosensitive responses. Interfascicular matrix cells exhibit marked stiffness‐dependent phenotypic plasticity, whereas fascicular matrix cells remain comparatively stable.

Sequential Patterning of Photoresponsive Hydrogels Directs Crypt Fission and Reveals the Role of Epithelial Curvature on Fission Symmetry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Deterministic crypt fission is achieved in intestinal organoids using photopatternable hydrogels with spatiotemporal control. Daughter‐crypt symmetry is shown to depend on parent‐crypt geometry and epithelial curvature, while myosin‐dependent mechanosensing links tissue shape to regenerative outcomes.

The Interplay of Curvature, Geometry, and Topology Shapes Tissue Organisation in Epithelial Shells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Purely geometric 3D Voronoi models predict the organisation of epithelial shells. The interplay of curvature, geometry, and topology enriches the number of pentagons in shells with lower number of cells. Small MDCK cysts and Mouse embryos match the top polygonal configurations in a compactness‐based ranking derived from the Voronoi model. In conclusion,

Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omic Mapping Reveals Liver‐Muscle Metabolic Crosstalk in Cancer Cachexia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The interactive CCAtlas platform delineates cross‐species, spatiotemporal, and sex‐specific molecular dynamics and metabolic rewiring across organs during cancer cachexia. Hepatic Gamt downregulation curtails hepatic creatine synthesis to trigger systemic creatine insufficiency and consequent skeletal muscle atrophy in LLC tumour‐bearing mice ...

Increased Disarray of Extracellular Matrix Collagen‐I Fiber Network and Compromised Biomechanics in Aortae From Marfan‐Syndrome Mice Assessed Through Combined Opto‐Biomechatronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Combined structure‐function assessment in aortic rings from Marfan mice using MechaMorph Opto‐Biomechatronics technology relates increased elasticity (stiffness) and dynamic viscosity and less ordered extracellular matrix 3D‐structure (collagen) as potential causes for impaired Windkessel function and compromised haemodynamics in Marfan's syndrome ...

Tumor Mechanical Remodeling via Bidirectional Calcium Redistribution Enables Deep Photothermal‐Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A bidirectional calcium‑redistributing nanomodulator rewires intra‑extracellular calcium homeostasis to remodel tumor mechanical microenvironments. It softens tumor stroma to facilitate deep tissue penetration while stiffening tumor cells, evoking amplified immunogenic cell death and robust CTL infiltration, which achieves potent deep photothermal ...
