Cell height: Tao rising

چکیده

During oogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster, the cells in the follicular epithelium of the ovary undergo a transition from a cuboidal to a squamous shape. In this issue, Gomez et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201207150) show that the kinase Tao promotes the endocytosis of the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin 2 from the lateral surface of the cell and is critical for the cuboidal to squamous cell shape transition. Their results indicate that Tao is rising as a regulator of cell height.

Molecular mechanisms regulating immune responses in thromboangiitis obliterans: a comprehensive review

Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) is a thrombotic-occlusive as well as an inflammatory peripheral vascular disease with unknown etiology. Recent evidence has supported the immunopathogenesis of the disease, however, the factors contributing to the altered immune function and vascular tissue inflammation are still unclear. This review was intended to collate the more current knowledge on the regu...

OsMPH1 regulates plant height and improves grain yield in rice

Plant height is a major trait affecting yield potential in rice. Using a large-scale hybrid transcription factor approach, we identified the novel MYB-like transcription factor OsMPH1 (MYB-like gene of Plant Height 1), which is involved in the regulation of plant height in rice. Overexpression of OsMPH1 leads to increases of plant height and grain yield in rice, while knockdown of OsMPH1 leads ...

Mass Transfer Studies in Shallow Bubble Column Reactors

Mass transfer studies are carried out in a bubble column with an internal diameter of 14 cm and various static liquid heights. The mass transfer coefficient is evaluated by using an oxygen sorption method. A model considering the gas holdup flushing and the sensor response is used. The interfacial mass transfer area is determined according to the measured bubble size distribution. The liquid-si...

Just noticeable differences for pitch direction, height, and slope for Mandarin and English listeners.

Previous studies on tones suggest that Mandarin listeners are more sensitive to pitch direction and slope while English listeners primarily attend to pitch height. In this study, just noticeable differences were established for pitch discrimination using a three-interval, forced-choice procedure with a two-down, one-up staircase design. A high rising and a high falling Mandarin tone were manipu...

On the role of the GRACE mission in the joint assimilation of altimetric and TAO data in a tropical Pacific Ocean model

[1] Recent advances in our knowledge of the earth geoid have made it possible to exploit absolute sea surface height measurements in realistic numerical modelling studies of the ocean. This letter provides evidence of the benefit of the GRACE referenced mean dynamic topography (MDT) for the simulation of the tropical Pacific ocean through the joint assimilation of altimetric data and of vertica...
