Lithobates catesbeianus (American Bullfrog) oocytes: a novel heterologous expression system for aquaporins

open access: yesBiology Open, 2018
Xenopus laevis oocytes are a valuable tool for investigating the function of membrane proteins. However, regulations around the world, specifically in Brazil, render the import of Xenopus laevis frogs impractical, and, in some cases, impossible. Here, as

Beyond synapses: cytoplasmic connections in brain function and evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following Ramón y Cajal's groundbreaking contributions to the identification of synapses, research in neuroscience predominantly focused on their pivotal role in neural communication (the neuron doctrine), overlooking an intriguing possibility suggested by Golgi of non‐synaptic interactions among neural cells.

Cardiac regeneration in Xenopus tropicalis and Xenopus laevis: discrepancies and problems

open access: yesCell & Bioscience, 2018
Two studies have recently focused on adult heart regeneration in Xenopus. While we reported on cardiac myogenic regeneration in Xenopus tropicalis after injury, Marshall and colleagues found no regeneration in an injured heart in Xenopus laevis. Here, we

Phosphatidic acid induces cytoskeletal rearrangements through the Src‐FAK‐RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway during decidualization

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Decidualization is the process by which human endometrial stromal cells undergo morphological and functional changes to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation and support pregnancy. Our study identifies the phosphatidic acid‐Src‐FAK‐RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway as a critical regulator of the cytoskeletal alterations required for this transformation.

The patterning and functioning of protrusive activity during convergence and extension of the Xenopus organiser [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
We discuss the cellular basis and tissue interactions regulating convergence and extension of the vertebrate body axis in early embryogenesls of Xenopus. Convergence and extension occur in the dorsal mesoderm (prospective notochord and somite) and in

A metastasis‐associated pannexin‐1 mutant (Panx11‐89) forms a minimalist ATP release channel

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
A truncation mutant of Panx1 (Panx11‐89), enriched in metastatic breast cancer cells, is capable of forming a large ATP‐permeable membrane channel despite containing only 20% of the amino‐terminal amino acids of the wild‐type channel protein (wtPanx1). However, cells expressing Panx11‐89 alone die, whereas co‐expression of wtPanx1 is protective.

Information and long term memory in calcium signals [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Unicellular organisms are open metabolic systems that need to process information about their external environment in order to survive. In most types of tissues and organisms, cells use calcium signaling to carry information from the extracellular side of the plasma membrane to the different metabolic targets of their internal medium.
