Surface Engineering the Cellular Microenvironment via Patterning and Gradients
Cell organization, proliferation, and differentiation are impacted by diverse cues present in the cellular microenvironment. As a result, the surface of a material plays an important role in cellular function. Synthetic surfaces may be augmented by physical as well as chemical means. In particular, patterning and interfacial gradients may be utilized to mitigate the cellular response. Patternin...
متن کاملLymphatic Regulation of Cellular Trafficking.
Lymphatic vessels play vital roles in immune surveillance and immune regulation by conveying antigen loaded dendritic cells, memory T cells, macrophages and neutrophils from the peripheral tissues to draining lymph nodes where they initiate as well as modify immune responses. Until relatively recently however, there was little understanding of how entry and migration through lymphatic vessels i...
متن کاملEngineering of Hydrolysis Reaction Specificity in the Transglycosylase Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase
Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) is a member of the a-amylase family, a large group of enzymes that act on a-glycosidic bonds in starch and related compounds. Over twenty different reaction and product specificities have been found in this family. Although three-dimensional structure elucidation and the biochemical characterization of site-directed mutants have yielded a detailed insig...
متن کاملCellular Engineering
The main goal of this paper is to develop tools for constructing different kinds of abstract automata based on cellular automata. We call this engineering problem cellular engineering. Different levels of computing systems and models are considered. The emphasis is made on the toplevel model called a grid automaton. Our goal is to construct grid automata using cellular automata. To achieve this...
متن کاملThe integration of autophagy and cellular trafficking pathways via RAB GAPs
Macroautophagy is a conserved degradative pathway in which a double-membrane compartment sequesters cytoplasmic cargo and delivers the contents to lysosomes for degradation. Efficient formation and maturation of autophagic vesicles, so-called phagophores that are precursors to autophagosomes, and their subsequent trafficking to lysosomes relies on the activity of small RAB GTPases, which are es...
