From Flow to Function: Using Different Static Mixers to Fabricate Microarchitected Materials Via Chaotic Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Complex microarchitectures emerge from simple flow‐driven transformations as static mixers iteratively reorient and split material domains. Coupled with diverse deposition strategies, chaotic printing provides an accessible platform for fabricating architected materials that support biologically and chemically relevant processes. ABSTRACT Nature builds

Biomimetic Scaffold‐Based 3D Models for Decoding Cancer Biology and Advancing Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A timeline of the research history of 3D biomimetic scaffold materials and platforms. With advances in biomimetic materials and 3D scaffold technologies, their functional scope has expanded from mimicking basic physical and biochemical properties to increasingly replicating complex pathophysiological processes.

Anaplasma phagocytophilum-Occupied Vacuole Interactions with the Host Cell Cytoskeleton

Veterinary Sciences, 2016
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen of humans and animals. The A. phagocytophium-occupied vacuole (ApV) is a critical host-pathogen interface.

Interactions between β-arrestin proteins and the cytoskeletal system, and their relevance to neurodegenerative disorders

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
β-arrestins, which have multiple cellular functions, were initially described as proteins that desensitize rhodopsin and other G protein-coupled receptors.

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Reconstitution of cytolinker-mediated crosstalk between actin and vimentin

European Journal of Cell Biology
Cell shape and motility are determined by the cytoskeleton, an interpenetrating network of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. The biophysical properties of each filament type individually have been studied extensively by cell-free

Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum organelle glue as maturation promoter for origination/dimensional dual‐cross cardiomyocytes

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

Mechanics of Single Vimentin Intermediate Filaments Under Load

, 2022
The eukaryotic cytoskeleton consists of three different types of biopolymers - microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments - and provides cells with versatile mechanical properties, combining stability and flexibility. The unique molecular structure of intermediate filaments leads to high extensibility and stability under load.

Vimentin is a key regulator of cell mechanosensing through opposite actions on actomyosin and microtubule networks

Communications Biology
The cytoskeleton is a complex network of interconnected biopolymers consisting of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. These biopolymers work in concert to transmit cell-generated forces to the extracellular matrix required for cell

A proteomic investigation of forebrain regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Our investigation reveals ontogenetic, injury‐ and regeneration‐associated proteomic changes in the leopard gecko forebrain. Abstract Background The ability to replace lost or damaged neurons following an injury is termed reactive neurogenesis. Although reactive neurogenesis has been reported in several lizard species, the molecular mechanisms ...
