Endfeet serve as diffusion-limited subcellular compartments in astrocytes.
Astrocytes extend their processes to make contact with neurons and blood vessels and regulate important processes associated with the physiology/pathophysiology of the brain. Their elaborate morphology, with numerous fine processes, could allow them to perform complex signal transductions with distinct compartments or to function as a spatial buffer depending on the diffusion properties of thei...
متن کاملMethods to Assess Subcellular Compartments of Muscle in C. elegans
Muscle is a dynamic tissue that responds to changes in nutrition, exercise, and disease state. The loss of muscle mass and function with disease and age are significant public health burdens. We currently understand little about the genetic regulation of muscle health with disease or age. The nematode C. elegans is an established model for understanding the genomic regulation of biological proc...
متن کاملSubcellular calcium dynamics during juvenile development in mouse hippocampal astrocytes.
Astrocytes generate calcium signals throughout their fine processes, which are assumed to locally regulate neighbouring neurotransmission and blood flow. The intercellular morphological relationships mature during juvenile periods when astrocytes elongate highly ramified processes. In this study, we examined developmental changes in calcium activity patterns of single hippocampal astrocytes usi...
متن کاملSegmentation of Subcellular Compartments Combining Superpixel Representation with Voronoi Diagrams
We propose and implement a computer vision algorithm for detecting individual cells, including the ability to distinguish subcellular compartments, such as nucleus and cytoplasm. Our approach consists of three main steps: (a) cellular mass estimation, and (b) nuclei detection through superpixel representation and, (c) cytoplasm detection through nuclear narrow-band seeding, graph-based region g...
متن کاملCOMPARTMENTS: unification and visualization of protein subcellular localization evidence
Information on protein subcellular localization is important to understand the cellular functions of proteins. Currently, such information is manually curated from the literature, obtained from high-throughput microscopy-based screens and predicted from primary sequence. To get a comprehensive view of the localization of a protein, it is thus necessary to consult multiple databases and predicti...
