Unraveling cadherin 23's role in development and mechanotransduction.
T he inner ear’s sensory cells, the hair cells, mediate mechanotransduction, which enables us to experience sound and movements of the head. Protruding from the apical portion of a hair cell, a hair bundle is formed from actin-rich stereocilia, which are arrayed with increasing length in a staircase formation; mechanical stimuli that deflect the bundle toward the tallest stereocilia open cation...
متن کاملα-catenin cytomechanics--role in cadherin-dependent adhesion and mechanotransduction.
The findings presented here demonstrate the role of α-catenin in cadherin-based adhesion and mechanotransduction in different mechanical contexts. Bead-twisting measurements in conjunction with imaging, and the use of different cell lines and α-catenin mutants reveal that the acute local mechanical manipulation of cadherin bonds triggers vinculin and actin recruitment to cadherin adhesions in a...
متن کاملCalcium's role in mechanotransduction during muscle development.
Mechanotransduction is a process where cells sense their surroundings and convert the physical forces in their environment into an appropriate response. Calcium plays a crucial role in the translation of such forces to biochemical signals that control various biological processes fundamental in muscle development. The mechanical stimulation of muscle cells may for example result from stretch, e...
متن کاملForce measurement tools to explore cadherin mechanotransduction.
Cell-cell adhesions serve to mechanically couple cells, allowing for long-range transmission of forces across cells in development, disease, and homeostasis. Recent work has shown that such contacts also play a role in transducing mechanical cues into a wide variety of cellular behaviors important to tissue function. As such, understanding the mechanical regulation of cells through their adhesi...
متن کاملrole of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus
cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
