Smooth muscle cells put their best podosome forward
IFT proteins go off the rails F lagella and cilia serve as molecular highways. Sedmak and Wolfrum have for the fi rst time tracked down several key proteins involved in this transport. They also discovered the proteins in cells that have neither cilia nor fl agella, indicating that the molecules have additional functions. Traffi c in cilia and fl agella runs in both directions. Kinesin motors h...
متن کاملNestling birds put their best flange forward
The offspring of caring parents may evolve specialized traits uniquely adaptive during their dependence on parental care. For example, the mouths of passerine nestlings are often bordered by enlarged and colorful rictal flanges expressed only during the nestling period. Although these traits are commonly hypothesized to act as visual signals during begging, noncommunication functions for the sp...
متن کاملPut your best figure forward: line graphs and scattergrams.
There is an old saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” In truth, only a well-prepared, selfexplanatory picture is worth a thousand words. The same holds true for research studies, for which 1 of the main methods we use to communicate our message is in figures and graphs. Figures and graphs tell much of the story by giving readers a visual anchor to help them see, understand, and rem...
متن کاملMicroRNA control of podosome formation in vascular smooth muscle cells in vivo and in vitro
Smooth muscle cell (SMC) plasticity plays an important role during development and in vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. It was recently shown that down-regulation of microRNA (miR)-143 and -145, which are coexpressed from a single promoter, regulates the switch from contractile to synthetic phenotype, allowing SMCs to migrate and proliferate. We show in this study tha...
متن کاملPodosome-mediated matrix resorption and cell motility in vascular smooth muscle cells.
The migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a principal factor for the development and progression of vascular diseases. In addition, phenotypic alteration from the contractile (differentiated) to the synthetic (dedifferentiated) state and a proteolytic process in the form of extra cellular matrix degradation are necessary for SMC invasion. The actual mechanism leading to the focal...
