Assembly and Maintenance of Myofibrils in the Heart
ABSTRACT The assembly of actin and myosin to the paracrystalline arrangement of myofibrils in striated muscle, that is, heart and skeletal, has puzzled many a cell biologist. Different models, based on cultured cardiomyocytes, were proposed for the last 30 years to explain the sequence of events.

Development of a SCA7 patient-derived lymphoblast cell model for testing RNAi knock-down of the disease-causing gene [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 106-116).Spinocerebellar ataxia type 7 (SCA7) is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat within the ataxin-7 gene. The South African SCA7 population has been shown to have

Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

Drosophila male genitalia rotation depends on permissive remodeling of the posterior abdomen
Abstract Background One of the most characteristic morphogenetic processes in Drosophila is the 360° rotation of the male pupal genital disc. This movement is driven by the myosin Myo1D, whose expression in the genital disc is controlled by the Hox gene Abdominal‐B (Abd‐B).

A tFNA‐based siRNA delivery system targeting IGFBP7 effectively silences IGFBP7 expression and attenuates renal dysfunction, tubular injury, and cell death in both septic (CLP) and ischemic (I/R) murine models of acute kidney injury. ABSTRACT Objective Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious clinical condition, yet effective targeted ...

GSK3β drives early diabetic tubulopathy via TFEB‐mediated mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondrial dysfunction, including mitochondrial biogenesis, mitophagy, dynamics and oxidative stress, occurs in the early stages of diabetic tubulopathy, which precede proteinuria and renal histological changes. GSK3β is a potential novel biomarker for the prediction of diabetic tubulopathy.

RNAi-mediated depletion of Rcd1, Rcd5 or MBD-R2 reduces the levels of Cid and Ndc80.
(A) Western blotting analysis and band intensity quantification relative to the control from 3 independent experiments showing that in Rcd1, Rcd5, MBD-R2 and wds RNAi cells the Cid level is reduced to 38%, 43%, 42% and 78% of the control level ...

A whole‐body regenerative annelid was treated with a GSK3 inhibitor. While posterior regeneration was mostly normal, GSK3 inhibition prevented differentiation of anterior‐specific structures and instead produced a persistent, oversized, hyper‐proliferative blastema. This suggests that GSK3 promotes anterior identity and halts proliferation during axial
