Epistatic Analysis of the Contribution of Rabs and Kifs to CATCHR Family Dependent Golgi Organization

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
Multisubunit members of the CATCHR family: COG and NRZ complexes, mediate intra-Golgi and Golgi to ER vesicle tethering, respectively. We systematically addressed the genetic and functional interrelationships between Rabs, Kifs, and the retrograde CATCHR

Nonconventional Tether Structure for Quality Factor Enhancement of Thin-Film-Piezoelectric-on-Si MEMS Resonator

open access: yesMicromachines, 2023
This article presents a new design of supporting tethers through the concept of force distribution. The transmitted force applied on tethers will be distributed on the new tether design area, resulting in low acoustic energy transferred to anchor ...

Biomechanics of Neutrophil Tethers [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2021
Leukocytes, including neutrophils, propelled by blood flow, can roll on inflamed endothelium using transient bonds between selectins and their ligands, and integrins and their ligands. When such receptor–ligand bonds last long enough, the leukocyte microvilli become extended and eventually form thin, 20 µm long tethers. Tether formation can be observed
