Single-Molecule Biophysical Techniques to Study Actomyosin Force Transduction

2020
Inside the cellular environment, molecular motors can work in concert to conduct a variety of important physiological functions and processes that are vital for the survival of a cell. However, in order to decipher the mechanism of how these molecular motors work, single-molecule microscopy techniques have been popular methods to understand the ...

Biophysical signal transduction in cancer cells: Understanding its role in cancer pathogenesis and treatment

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Cancer, 2020
Signaling between cells can promote both the development and progression of cancer. It has been found that chemical and physical signals, together with extracellular factors, can influence cancer progression. In this review, we focus on the physical microenvironment of cancer cells and examine the action of mechanical, electromagnetic, thermal, and ...

A biophysical approach towards an understanding of endotoxin-induced signal transduction

Journal of Endotoxin Research, 1999
The purpose of our studies is to define the physicochemical parameters involved in the activation of host cells by endotoxin and to characterize the processes operative during endotoxin/membrane interaction with the aim of understanding transmembrane signal transduction mechanisms.

Connecting gene and hormone action to form, pattern and organogenesis: biophysical transductions [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Experimental Botany, 1994
Abstract Morphological effects of mutations and hormones in shoots and flowers are common. Hence the causal chain between genome and phenotype must contain biophysical steps which link soluble control compounds to the production of specific solid tissue configuration.

Biophysical Chemistry of Signal Transduction [PDF]

open access: possible, 1999
The concept of chemical signal transduction was originally developed for the regulatory coupling between extracellular hormones as the primary signal and intracellular second messenger molecules across the cell membrane. The cytosolic second messenger activation mediates the control of the kinase-catalyzed phosphorylations in the regulation of cell ...

The insulin transduction system: A biophysical model for mitogenesis

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 1981
A model has been proposed to account for many of the intracellular actions of insulin. This model is called the insulin transduction system and consists of coordinated stimulation by insulin of the sodium pump and the Na:H exchange system in the plasma membrane. The primary end result of stimulation of the insulin transduction system is an elevation of
