Understanding the Physiology of FGF21.
Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a peptide hormone that is synthesized by several organs and regulates energy homeostasis. Excitement surrounding this relatively recently identified hormone is based on the documented metabolic beneficial effects of FGF21, which include weight loss and improved glycemia. The biology of FGF21 is intrinsically complicated owing to its diverse metabolic funct...
متن کاملThe Spindle Gets Bigger
Although cortical nonmuscle myosin II has long been implicated in cytokinetic aspects of cell division, there has never been strong evidence that it plays a role in the organization of the mitotic spindle. ([this issue of Cell]) use a number of methods to show that cortical myosin II is in fact important for spindle assembly in higher eukaryotic cells, specifically for the complete separation o...
متن کاملGRASP65 gets the chop
astillo et al. (page 453) have identified what may be a key event in building the spindle pole body (SPB) of budding yeast. They found that the kinase Mps1p phosphorylates and thus helps organize Spc42p, an important component of the SPB central plaque. Mps1p has been a difficult protein to study, as it does double duty as a regulator of SPB structure, and as part of the spindle checkpoint sign...
متن کاملThe spindle gets the Axs
is seeing the shape of things to come. In two recent papers, he addresses how cell growth influences the shape of plant organs. The first article, by Utpal Nath, Coen, and colleagues, looks at a quality of leaves often taken for granted—flatness. " Flatness is not a natural outcome of growth, " says Coen. " An organism has to coordinate lots of things to keep leaves flat. " According to the gro...
متن کاملFGF21 and Cardiac Physiopathology
The heart is not traditionally considered either a target or a site of fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF21) production. However, recent findings indicate that FGF21 can act as a cardiomyokine; that is, it is produced by cardiac cells at significant levels and acts in an autocrine manner on the heart itself. The heart is sensitive to the effects of FGF21, both systemic and locally generated, owin...
