Zigzag turning preference of freely crawling cells. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The coordinated motion of a cell is fundamental to many important biological processes such as development, wound healing, and phagocytosis. For eukaryotic cells, such as amoebae or animal cells, the cell motility is based on crawling and involves a ...

Resistant Starches and Non-Communicable Disease: A Focus on Mediterranean Diet
Foods, 2021 Resistant starch (RS) is the starch fraction that eludes digestion in the small intestine. RS is classified into five subtypes (RS1–RS5), some of which occur naturally in plant-derived foods, whereas the others may be produced by several processing ...

Depletion of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of cardiac muscle prompts phosphorylation of phospholamban to stimulate store refilling [PDF]
, 1998 Nonmuscle cells have almost ubiquitously evolved a mechanism to detect and prevent Ca(2+) store depletionstore operated calcium entry. No such mechanism has, as yet, been reported in cardiac myocytes.

In Vitro Membrane Remodeling by ESCRT is Regulated by Negative Feedback from Membrane Tension
iScience, 2019 Summary: Artificial cells can shed new light on the molecular basis for life and hold potential for new chemical technologies. Inspired by how nature dynamically regulates its membrane compartments, we aim to repurpose the endosomal sorting complex ...

Sphingosine 1-phosphate in renal diseases [PDF]
, 2013 Because of its highly bioactive properties sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is an attractive target for the treatment of several diseases. Since the expression of sphingosine kinases as well as S1P receptors was demonstrated in the kidney, questions about ...

Molecular dynamics as an approach to study prion protein misfolding and the effect of pathogenic mutations [PDF]
, 2011 Computer simulation of protein dynamics offers unique high-resolution information that complements experiment. Using experimentally derived structures of the natively folded prion protein (PrP), physically realistic dynamics and conformational changes ...

Physical Review E, 2017 We study a minimal model of a crawling eukaryotic cell with a chemical polarity controlled by a reaction-diffusion mechanism describing Rho GTPase dynamics. The size, shape, and speed of the cell emerge from the combination of the chemical polarity, which controls the locations where actin polymerization occurs, and the physical properties of the cell,

Aneuploidy and proteotoxic stress in cancer [PDF]
, 2015 Although nearly ubiquitous in cancer, aneuploidy exerts detrimental effects on human cells. We recently demonstrated that aneuploid human cells exhibit impaired heat shock factor protein 1 (HSF1) and HSP90 function, suggesting a functional link between ...

Cool-associated Tyrosine-phosphorylated Protein 1 Is Required for the Anchorage-independent Growth of Cervical Carcinoma Cells by Binding Paxillin and Promoting AKT Activation. [PDF]
, 2017 Cool-associated tyrosine-phosphorylated protein 1 (Cat-1) is a signaling scaffold as well as an ADP-ribosylation factor-GTPase-activating protein. Although best known for its role in cell migration, we recently showed that the ability of Cat-1 to bind ...
