Guanylyl Cyclase A/cGMP Signaling Slows Hidden, Age- and Acoustic Trauma-Induced Hearing Loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020
In the inner ear, cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling has been described as facilitating otoprotection, which was previously observed through elevated cGMP levels achieved by phosphodiesterase 5 inhibition.

Lipid raft microdomain compartmentalization of TC10 is required for insulin signaling and GLUT4 translocation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Recent studies indicate that insulin stimulation of glucose transporter (GLUT)4 translocation requires at least two distinct insulin receptor-mediated signals: one leading to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI-3) kinase and the other to the ...

Geometrically Tunable Scaffold‐Free Muscle Bioconstructs for Treating Volumetric Muscle Loss

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Volumetric muscle loss is associated with traumatic muscle resulting in permanent functional impairment. Mold‐based, scaffold‐free, high‐density muscle tissue bioconstructs are developed in customizable geometric shapes and sizes. The transplanted rectangular solid‐shaped muscle bioconstructs improved muscle force recovery and tissue regeneration in ...

The ER membrane protein complex interacts cotranslationally to enable biogenesis of multipass membrane proteins

open access: yeseLife, 2018
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) supports biosynthesis of proteins with diverse transmembrane domain (TMD) lengths and hydrophobicity. Features in transmembrane domains such as charged residues in ion channels are often functionally important, but could ...

Overshoot in biological systems modeled by Markov chains: a nonequilibrium dynamic phenomenon

open access: yes, 2014
A number of biological systems can be modeled by Markov chains. Recently, there has been an increasing concern about when biological systems modeled by Markov chains will perform a dynamic phenomenon called overshoot.

Energy integration describes sound-intensity coding in an insect auditory system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We investigate the transduction of sound stimuli into neural responses and focus on locust auditory receptor cells. As in other mechanosensory model systems, these neurons integrate acoustic inputs over a fairly broad frequency range.

Protocol for live-cell Förster resonance energy transfer imaging to reveal the bistable insulin response of single C2C12-derived myotubes

open access: yesSTAR Protocols
Summary: Based on our hypothesis that myotubes exhibit a bistable response to insulin, here we present a protocol for finely measuring Akt phosphorylation in single myotubes under insulin stimulation.

High rates of fuel consumption are not required by insulating motifs to suppress retroactivity in biochemical circuits

open access: yesEngineering Biology, 2017
Retroactivity arises when the coupling of a molecular network [inline-formula] to a downstream network [inline-formula] results in signal propagation back from [inline-formula] to [inline-formula].
