Mechanosensation through integrins: cells act locally but think globally.
C ells sense cues that guide their growth and development by probing their microenvironment with surface membrane receptors that elicit intracellular signals when they bind their ligands. Cell interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules differ from those with soluble regulatory factors, however, because in addition to ligation-induced signaling, cells also apply traction to their int...
متن کاملThink globally, act locally
In a large cyber-physical system, even if individual system elements interact with one another only locally, effects of local decisions quickly spread across the system and combine to yield global consequences. In order to reason about such a system without impractical amounts of communication and computation, we must summarize the system’s global state, and base individual decisions at least p...
متن کاملThink globally, act locally
This issue of Asia Pacific Allergy (Asia Pac Allergy) will be released at the beginning of its third year of circulation. Asia Pac Allergy is just two years old yet very active and on the way to developing into a leading publication in allergic disease research. We thank all the authors and readers for their efforts and contributions. Our current issue features two valuable reviews on the topic...
متن کاملNutrient-driven O-GlcNAc cycling - think globally but act locally.
Proper cellular functioning requires that cellular machinery behave in a spatiotemporally regulated manner in response to global changes in nutrient availability. Mounting evidence suggests that one way this is achieved is through the establishment of physically defined gradients of O-GlcNAcylation (O-linked addition of N-acetylglucosamine to serine and threonine residues) and O-GlcNAc turnover...
متن کاملProtein folding: Think globally, (inter)act locally
Protein folding appears to be almost too complex for a complete description or for accurate structure prediction from sequence data. A simple way of analysing local interactions, however, bears promise of linking theory with experiment and cutting through some of the complexities.
