Cell migration: Fibroblasts find a new way to get ahead
Fibroblasts migrate on two-dimensional (2D) surfaces by forming lamellipodia-actin-rich extensions at the leading edge of the cell that have been well characterized. In this issue, Petrie et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201201124) show that in some 3D environments, including tissue explants, fibroblasts project different structures, termed lobopodia, at the leading edg...
متن کاملError-prone DNA polymerases: when making a mistake is the only way to get ahead.
Cells have high-fidelity polymerases whose task is to accurately replicate the genome, and low-fidelity polymerases with specialized functions. Although some of these low-fidelity polymerases are exceptional in their ability to replicate damaged DNA and restore the undamaged sequence, they are error prone on undamaged DNA. In fact, these error-prone polymerases are sometimes used in circumstanc...
متن کاملA simple way to get cleavage
A simple way to get cleavage o partition cellular components into dividing daughter cells, the spindle apparatus induces the formation of a cleavage furrow, but results conflict about which specific components are required for this process. By physically dissecting the spindle apparatus in grasshopper spermato-cytes, Alsop and Zhang now show on page 383 that bundled microtubules are the only st...

متن کاملFusion: the way ahead
• Fusion is the process whereby two light nuclei bind to form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy • Harnessing fusion on Earth via deuterium and tritium reactions would lead to an environmentally friendly and almost limitless energy source • One promising route to fusion power is to magnetically confine a hot, dense plasma inside a doughnut-shaped device called a tokamak • The JET toka...
