Many different cell types possess microtubule patterns which appear to be polarized and oriented, in part, by cytoplasmic factors not directly associated with a centrosome. Recently, we demonstrated that cytoplasmic extensions ("arms") of teleost melanophores will reorganize their microtubule population outward from their centers after surgical isolation (McNiven, M. A., M. Wang, and K. R. Port...

Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) play important roles in plant-pathogen interactions. In citrus, PLCPs are targeted by effectors from Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), the causal agent of Huanglongbing (HLB). To study interactions between Citrus sinensis and CLas, we identified 33 candidate CsPLCP genes HMMsearch with Peptidase_C1 domain (PF00112), further confirmed them using loc...

Metals content affects not only for nutritional value of plants, but also their resistance to stress. So it was revealed that cationic composition changes hydration cytoplasm. Hydration cytoplasm positively correlated with alkali metals, a representative which is potassium, and negatively amount alkaline earth metals (calcium, magnesium). Variability rice collection samples in terms sodium, cal...

Article Patch Based Classification of Cell Painted ER and Cytoplasm using Block Intensity Gradient Pattern Multilayer Perceptron was published on August 1, 2022 in the journal Current Directions Biomedical Engineering (volume 8, issue 2).

Abstract Changes in the apparent moduli of cells have been reported to correlate with cell abnormalities and disease. Indentation is commonly used measure these moduli; however, there evidence suggest that indentation protocol employed affects measured moduli, which can affect our understanding how physiological conditions regulate mechanics. Most studies treat as a homogeneous material or simp...
