The Upsides and Downsides of Organelle Interconnectivity
Interconnectivity and feedback control are hallmarks of biological systems. This includes communication between organelles, which allows them to function and adapt to changing cellular environments. While the specific mechanisms for all communications remain opaque, unraveling the wiring of organelle networks is critical to understand how biological systems are built and why they might collapse...
متن کاملUpsides and Downsides of Gesturing in Problem Solving
Research has shown that gesturing can serve to both clarify our thinking and improve our working memory. Working memory capacity (WMC) is widely considered to be a contributing factor in a number of higher order cognitions, including problem solving. The current study investigated the influence of individual differences in WMC, the number of moves required for solution, and the ability to gestu...
متن کاملEmbryonic polarity: Protein stability in asymmetric cell division
Recent work on pattern formation in Caenorhabditis elegans has uncovered a new mechanism of asymmetric cell division: the cytoplasm is polarized by cortical proteins, and this polarization then influences the stability of other maternally expressed proteins that in turn determine early embryonic cell fates.
متن کاملPolarity in stem cell division: asymmetric stem cell division in tissue homeostasis.
Many adult stem cells divide asymmetrically to balance self-renewal and differentiation, thereby maintaining tissue homeostasis. Asymmetric stem cell divisions depend on asymmetric cell architecture (i.e., cell polarity) within the cell and/or the cellular environment. In particular, as residents of the tissues they sustain, stem cells are inevitably placed in the context of the tissue architec...
متن کاملMeru couples planar cell polarity with apical-basal polarity during asymmetric cell division
Polarity is a shared feature of most cells. In epithelia, apical-basal polarity often coexists, and sometimes intersects with planar cell polarity (PCP), which orients cells in the epithelial plane. From a limited set of core building blocks (e.g. the Par complexes for apical-basal polarity and the Frizzled/Dishevelled complex for PCP), a diverse array of polarized cells and tissues are generat...
