Influence of Cosolvents on the Pressure Stability of Human Serum Albumin
physica status solidi (a), EarlyView.Human serum albumin is able to bind various hydrophobic substances and drugs. To investigate this interaction, the protein structure is analyzed using small‐angle X‐ray scattering under high hydrostatic pressure. The resulting radius of gyration (see picture) indicates that hydrophobic substances influence the pressure stability of HSA differently ...

Self-organization of dynein motors generates meiotic nuclear oscillations.
PLoS Biology, 2009 Meiotic nuclear oscillations in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are crucial for proper chromosome pairing and recombination. We report a mechanism of these oscillations on the basis of collective behavior of dynein motors linking the cell ...

Micrometer‐Sized Liposome‐Based Systems: A Hierarchical Breakdown
ChemSystemsChem, EarlyView.Micrometer‐sized liposomes (MSLs) are gaining attention for various applications, from biophysical cell models to molecular robots. Despite their growing importance, reviews on MSLs across disciplines are scarce. This review fills the gap by providing a systematic overview of MSL design, from applications to functionalization and to formation, aimed at

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background and Aims The long‐term outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation for small bowel strictures in patients with Crohn’s disease are not well understood. Although Crohn’s strictures can be classified into web‐like, ulcerated, and spindle‐shaped strictures based on endoscopic findings, the outcomes of enteroscopic balloon dilation ...

A first-passage-time theory for search and capture of chromosomes by microtubules in mitosis [PDF]
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology 73(10):2483-506 (2011), 2009 The mitotic spindle is an important intermediate structure in eukaryotic cell division, in which each of a pair of duplicated chromosomes is attached through microtubules to centrosomal bodies located close to the two poles of the dividing cell. Several mechanisms are at work towards the formation of the spindle, one of which is the `capture' of ...

Fossil and modern penguin tarsometatarsi: cavities, vascularity, and resilience
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In tarsometatarsi of Eocene and extant penguins, the distribution of primary diaphyseal nutrient foramina as well as dimensions of medullary cavities appears to align more with overall body‐size categories than geological age, albeit the extinct genus Anthropornis is unique in both respects.

Phosphorylation of the yeast γ-tubulin Tub4 regulates microtubule function.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The yeast γ-tubulin Tub4 is assembled with Spc97 and Spc98 into the small Tub4 complex. The Tub4 complex binds via the receptor proteins Spc72 and Spc110 to the spindle pole body (SPB), the functional equivalent of the mammalian centrosome, where the ...
