PURPOSE: Corneal injuries are associated with significant impairment in vision. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to limit inflammation and promote tissue repair at...
COPI coated vesicles carry material between Golgi compartments, but the role of COPI in the secretory pathway has been ambiguous. Previous studies of thermosensitive yeast...
Objective Bleeding ulcers and erosions are hallmarks of active ulcerative colitis (UC). However, the mechanisms controlling bleeding and mucosal haemostasis remain elusive. Design We used...
Adaptor protein 2 (AP2) is a major constituent of clathrin-coated pits (CCPs). Whether it is essential for all forms of clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in mammalian...
Cell migration depends on the dynamic formation and turnover of cell adhesions and is tightly controlled by actomyosin contractility and local Ca2+ signals. The divalent...
Deubiquitinating enzymes are now emerging as potential therapeutic targets that control many cellular processes, but few have been demonstrated to control cell motility. Here, we...
BACKGROUND: In plants, a complex cell wall protects cells and defines their shape. Cellulose fibrils form a multilayered network inside the cell-wall matrix that plays...
Understanding cell behaviors can provide new knowledge on the development of different pathologies. Focal adhesion (FA) sites are important sub-cellular structures that are involved in...
Abstract Background Fluorescence-guided molecular imaging may improve colorectal cancer (CRC) patient outcomes by enabling early detection and better surgical treatment, relying on developing targeted fluorescent...
Background: Betel nut is used by an estimated 600 million people globally and is the 4th most widely used psychoactive substance in the world. Its...
