The Role of γ-Tubulin in Centrosomal Microtubule Organization

open access: yes, 2012
As part of a multi-subunit ring complex, γ-tubulin has been shown to promote microtubule nucleation both in vitro and in vivo, and the structural properties of the complex suggest that it also seals the minus ends of the polymers with a conical cap ...

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Functional Blood‐Brain Barrier Crossing by Biomimetic M13 Phage Vectors for Targeted Neuronal Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the M13 bacteriophage as a biomimetic nanovector capable of crossing in vitro models of the blood–brain barrier. By exploiting peculiar transcellular pathways, M13 avoids lysosomal degradation and preserves its structural integrity and functionality.

Taurine is Covalently Incorporated into Alpha Tubulin

open access: yes, 2019
We use various methods of high resolution mass spectrometry to demonstrate that taurine is covalently attached to the carboxyl terminus of alpha Tubulin from avian erythrocytes.

Cytoskeletal scaffolds in neuronal development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Neuronal polarization is one of the most studied topics in neuroscience. In less than seven days neurites sprout out from the neuron, explore the surrounding environment and mature in axon or dendrites.

Bubble Formation Control: Fabrication of Centimeter‐Sized Tissue‐Like Constructs by Catalase‐Coated Oxygen‐Releasing Hydrogel

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Oxygen‐releasing hydrogels are widely used to support cell survival in 3D cultures and to promote wound healing. However, incorporating catalase to convert H2O2 into O2 often generates additional oxygen bubbles, leading to material instability which rarely addressed.

Synthesis and characterisation of a novel tubulin-directed DO3A–colchicine conjugate with potential theranostic features

open access: yes, 2011
Colchicine is a known tubulin binding agent enabling necrosis in tumors. A novel tubulin-directed DO3A–colchicine conjugate and its Gd(III) complex were prepared from N-deacetylcolchicine, coupling alkaloid and polyaza-alicyclic functions via a peptide ...

Electrostatically biased binding of kinesin to microtubules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The minimum motor domain of kinesin-1 is a single head. Recent evidence suggests that such minimal motor domains generate force by a biased binding mechanism, in which they preferentially select binding sites on the microtubule that lie ahead in the ...

An Accessible Microfluidic Platform for the Generation of Polarized Brain Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents an accessible double‐gradient microfluidic device that enables controlled morphogen delivery and spatially polarized differentiation in brain organoids. By integrating a pump‐free design and stable fabrication method, the platform generates dorsal–ventral neuronal asymmetry, offering a reproducible and versatile approach to model ...
