Sandra Schmid: Collaring endocytosis

T hroughout her career, Sandra Schmid has been at the leading edge of endocytosis research. It was her laboratory that fi rst identifi ed the GTPase dynamin as a central player in en-docytosis (1). Since then, she's devoted her research efforts to characterizing this critical cellular process (2) and dynamin's role therein, as the protein that collars and then pinches off forming endocytic vesi...

On the Complexity of Collaring Theorem in the Lipschitz Category

We prove that, if a compact subspace of a metric space can be covered by a family C of bi–Lipschitz local collars, then it admits also a bi–Lipschitz global collar, whose complexity, measured by the so–called weak bi–Lipschitz constant, depends only on C. If the compactness condition is dropped, a slightly weaker version of this result remains valid, provided C is uniform in a suitable natural ...

RELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

 In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...

Structure-function relationships in myosin binding protein-C: taking off the blinders and collaring hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C), a major component of the thick filament, binds to both the myosin (thick) and titin filament systems through defined domains and is believed to make an important contribution to sarcomere structure. Discovered over 27 years ago,1 interest in the protein’s role(s) intensified after familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) was linked to chromosome 11p13-q13, w...
