A Polarised Population of Dynamic Microtubules Mediates Homeostatic Length Control in Animal Cells

Because physical form and function are intimately linked, mechanisms that maintain cell shape and size within strict limits are likely to be important for a wide variety of biological processes. However, while intrinsic controls have been found to contribute to the relatively well-defined shape of bacteria and yeast cells, the extent to which individual cells from a multicellular animal control...

A Dynamic Bayesian Model of Homeostatic Control

This paper shows how a planning as inference framework with discrete latent states can be used to implement homeostatic control by providing an agent with multivariate autonomic set points as goals. Before receiving these goals the agent navigates according to the ‘Prior Dynamics’ which embody a cognitive map of the environment. Given the goals, optimal value functions are implicitly computed u...

Cytoplasmic Microtubules in Different Animal Cells

In avian, murine, and human cells fixed with glutaraldehyde, cytoplasmic microtubules 180 to 250 A in diameter and of undetermined length were found. These cytoplasmic microtubules are similar to those described by Ledbetter and Porter in plant cells after the same glutaraldehyde fixation. The cytoplasmic microtubules in animal cells are connected with the satellites of the centrioles and are s...

Dynamic Simulation and Mechanical Properties of Microtubules

This work is conducted to obtain mechanical properties of microtubule. For this aim, interaction energy in alpha-beta, beta-alpha, alpha-alpha, and beta-beta dimers was calculated using the molecular dynamic simulation. Force-distance diagrams for these dimers were obtained using the relation between potential energy and force. Afterwards, instead of each tubulin, one sphere with 55 KDa weight ...

Role of microtubules in stimulating cytokinesis in animal cells.

The initiation of furrow formation is disrupted when microtubule elongation to the cell surface is inhibited either by promoting microtubule disassembly with hydrostatic pressure or by stabilizing the mitotic astral microtubules with taxol. The pressure studies confirmed Rappaport's earlier observation that stimulation of furrow formation is produced by a pair of asters and does not require chr...
