Voltage-clamp fluorometry to record flow-activated PIEZO1 currents and fluorometric signals

STAR Protocols
Summary: PIEZO channels sense mechanical forces through conformational rearrangements of a mechanosensory domain called blade. To probe these rearrangements in real time, we have inserted conformational-sensitive cyclic-permuted GFP into several ...

Roadmap to Nanomedical Applications: Nanotoxicology and In Vitro Guidelines for Lanthanide‐Doped Luminescence Nanothermometers

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Lanthanide‐based luminescence nanothermometry holds multifaceted potential for nanomedical applications, yet despite significant research advances, clinical translation of the engineered nanomaterials is still controversial and widely disputed. This is related to crucial nanotoxicological aspects that must be addressed at the preclinical level ...

Protein aggregation and neurodegenerative disease: Structural outlook for the novel therapeutics

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Before the controversial approval of humanized monoclonal antibody lecanemab, which binds to the soluble amyloid‐β protofibrils, all the treatments available earlier, for Alzheimer's disease (AD) were symptomatic. The researchers are still struggling to find a breakthrough in AD therapeutic medicine, which is partially attributable to lack in ...

Shuttle-mediated proton pumping across the inner mitochondrial membrane [PDF]

arXiv, 2008
Shuttle-assisted charge transfer is pivotal for the efficient energy transduction from the food-stuff electrons to protons in the respiratory chain of animal cells and bacteria. The respiratory chain consists of four metalloprotein Complexes (I-IV) embedded in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.

Dynamic Plasma Membrane Topography Linked With Arp2/3 Actin Network Induction During Cell Shape Change

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Cell shape changes underlie animal development, physiology, and disease. The cell surface is mechanosensitive to the microenvironment and cytoskeleton activities, which generate plasma membrane topographies recognized and affected by Arp2/3 actin network induction pathways to remodel cell shape during immune cell migration, neural progenitor cell ...

A truncation mutant of adenomatous polyposis coli impairs apical cell extrusion through elevated epithelial tissue tension

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
Abstract Tissue tension encompasses the mechanical forces exerted on solid tissues within animal bodies, originating from various sources such as cellular contractility, interactions with neighboring cells and the extracellular matrix. Emerging evidence indicates that an imbalance in such forces can influence structural organization, homeostasis, and ...
