متن کاملBacterial cell curvature through mechanical control of cell growth.
The cytoskeleton is a key regulator of cell morphogenesis. Crescentin, a bacterial intermediate filament-like protein, is required for the curved shape of Caulobacter crescentus and localizes to the inner cell curvature. Here, we show that crescentin forms a single filamentous structure that collapses into a helix when detached from the cell membrane, suggesting that it is normally maintained i...
متن کاملCell Membrane Shape Control - Effects
The shape of the human erythrocyte is normally maintamed in vivo as a biconcave disc for 120 days. In vitro. the cell shape can be altered readily by amphipathic cornpounds; however. given time and an energy source. the cells can recover the discoid morphology. An active shape control mechanism is postulated to regulate erythrocyte shape. The shape recovery process is a necessary element in rev...
متن کاملA Mechanical Feedback Restricts Sepal Growth and Shape in Arabidopsis
How organs reach their final shape is a central yet unresolved question in developmental biology. Here we investigate whether mechanical cues contribute to this process. We analyze the epidermal cells of the Arabidopsis sepal, focusing on cortical microtubule arrays, which align along maximal tensile stresses and restrict growth in that direction through their indirect impact on the mechanical ...
متن کاملOpto-mechanical Control of Nerve Growth
A variety of biochemical and biophysical cues have been investigated with the goal of promoting regenerative ability of peripheral nerves. Among those neurotrophic factors, topography, and electrical stimulation have been proposed to enhance nerve growth. This thesis explores optogenetic neural stimulation as a means to control neurite growth that promises greater cell-type specificity than com...
