Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

Developmental mechanism of the periodic membrane skeleton in axons

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Actin, spectrin, and associated molecules form a periodic sub-membrane lattice structure in axons. How this membrane skeleton is developed and why it preferentially forms in axons are unknown.

Force balance and membrane shedding at the Red Blood Cell surface

open access: yes, 2006
During the aging of the red-blood cell, or under conditions of extreme echinocytosis, membrane is shed from the cell plasma membrane in the form of nano-vesicles.

Multicolour Multilevel STED nanoscopy of Actin/Spectrin Organization at Synapses

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Superresolution fluorescence microscopy of multiple fluorophores still requires development. Here we present simultaneous three-colour stimulated emission depletion (STED) nanoscopy relying on a single STED beam at 620 nm.

Bridging the computational gap between mesoscopic and continuum modeling of red blood cells for fully resolved blood flow

open access: yes, 2019
We present a computational framework for the simulation of blood flow with fully resolved red blood cells (RBCs) using a modular approach that consists of a lattice Boltzmann solver for the blood plasma, a novel finite element based solver for the ...

Distribution of Voltage‐Gated Sodium Channels and Scaffolding Proteins on Vestibular Calyx Ending Delineates the Axon Initial Segment

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 2, February 2026.
Various sodium channel isoforms and their scaffolding proteins are found in four different microdomains in vestibular calyx‐bearing afferents. These microdomains serve different purposes, analogous to the heminode, axon initial segment, and synaptic domains of other types of sensory afferents.

Axonal Spectrins: Nanoscale Organization, Functional Domains and Spectrinopathies

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Spectrin cytoskeletons are found in all metazoan cells, and their physical interactions between actin and ankyrins establish a meshwork that provides cellular structural integrity.

Cytoskeleton influence on normal and tangent fluctuation modes in the red blood cells

open access: yes, 2006
We argue that the paradoxal softness of the red blood cells (RBC) in fluctuation spectra experiments is apparent. We show that the effective surface shear modulus $\mu_s$ of the RBC obtained from fluctuation data and that measured in static deformation ...

Spectrins and the Golgi

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2005
Several isoforms of spectrin membrane skeleton proteins have been localized to the Golgi complex. Golgi-specific membrane skeleton proteins associate with the Golgi as a detergent-resistant cytoskeletal structure that likely undergoes a dynamic assembly process that accommodates Golgi membrane dynamics.
