Spectraplakins: Master orchestrators of cytoskeletal dynamics
The dynamics of different cytoskeletal networks are coordinated to bring about many fundamental cellular processes, from neuronal pathfinding to cell division. Increasing evidence points to the importance of spectraplakins in integrating cytoskeletal networks. Spectraplakins are evolutionarily conserved giant cytoskeletal cross-linkers, which belong to the spectrin superfamily. Their genes cons...
متن کاملRegulation of Bone Homeostasis by Osteocytes.
New data concerning the function of osteocytes as the central regulators of bone homeostasis are briefly outlined. It is established that osteocytes are the main target cells for parathormone. They are a rich source of sclerostin, the main inhibitor of osteoblast activity, and of the RANKL cytokine, the most important regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Under shear stress causing microinjury, oste...
متن کاملOsteocytes: a proposed multifunctional bone cell.
Most cell types are ascribed a single function. The osteoclast holds the unique distinction of performing only one function in the body - that of resorbing bone. The osteoblast has been ascribed the major function of bone matrix production. Other less well-defined cell types include progenitor cells and the nebulous cell type that can support osteoclast formation upon stimulation with various b...
متن کاملOsteocytes link bone maintenance to blood homeostasis.
O steocytes are the most abundant cell type in the bone, comprising more than 90% of all cells within the bone matrix or on bone surfaces. Osteocytes are derived from osteoblasts and are entombed in the bone matrix during bone deposition. Osteocytes were originally thought to be rather inert cells whose function was limited to maintaining bone matrix locally. However, osteocytes are connected t...
متن کاملSmooth Orchestrators
A smooth orchestrator is a process with several alternative branches, every one defining synchronizations among co-located channels. Smooth orchestrators constitute a basic mechanism that may express standard workflow patterns in Web services as well as common synchronization constructs in programming languages. Smooth orchestrators may be created in one location and migrated to a different one...
