Do lamellipodia have the mechanical capacity to drive convergent extension?
Convergent extension (CE), a kinematic motif associated with several important morphogenetic movements in embryos, entails narrowing of a tissue in one in-plane direction and elongation in the other. Although the cell elongation and intercalation which accompany this process have been investigated and relevant genes and biochemical pathways have been studied in multiple organisms, a fundamental...
متن کاملDo trauma centers have the capacity to respond to disasters?
BACKGROUND Concern has been raised about the capacity of trauma centers to absorb large numbers of additional patients from mass casualty events. Our objective was to examine the capacity of current centers to handle an increased load from a mass casualty disaster. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of Level I and II trauma centers. They were contacted by mail and asked to respond to qu...

future for more careful consideration. This process may rely on generating and then testing a wide variety of possibilities and selecting the one that empirically works best. Being a successful innovator is likely to require many psychological and emotional attributes, such as determination, focus, analytical ability, persistence and resilience. These may have little to do with the ability to g...
متن کاملResidual Tumor Cells That Drive Disease Relapse after Chemotherapy Do Not Have Enhanced Tumor Initiating Capacity
Although chemotherapy is used to treat most advanced solid tumors, recurrent disease is still the major cause of cancer-related mortality. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been the focus of intense research in recent years because they provide a possible explanation for disease relapse. However, the precise role of CSCs in recurrent disease remains poorly understood and surprisingly little attenti...
متن کاملA contractile actomyosin network linked to adherens junctions by Canoe/afadin helps drive convergent extension
Integrating individual cell movements to create tissue-level shape change is essential to building an animal. We explored mechanisms of adherens junction (AJ):cytoskeleton linkage and roles of the linkage regulator Canoe/afadin during Drosophila germband extension (GBE), a convergent-extension process elongating the body axis. We found surprising parallels between GBE and a quite different morp...
