  • Filamentous actin in living cultured cells was labeled by microinjecting trace amounts of rhodamine-phalloidin (rh-pha) as a specific, high-affinity probe. (rupress.org)
  • They function in cellular movement, have a diameter of about 7 nm, and are made of two intertwined strands of a globular protein called actin (Figure 2). (lumenlearning.com)
  • Actin is powered by ATP to assemble its filamentous form, which serves as a track for the movement of a motor protein called myosin. (lumenlearning.com)

  • Research has shown that lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) plays an essential role in the self-renewal of these "leukemic stem cells," Incyte principal investigator Sang Hyun Lee, Ph.D., tells GEN . Building on this finding, Dr. Lee and colleagues developed an LSD1 inhibitor called INCB059872, which spurs myeloid cell differentiation. (genengnews.com)

  • Although all diabetic cells are exposed to elevated levels of plasma glucose, hyperglycemic damage is limited to those cell types that are unable to down regulate glucose transport into the cell (e.g., endothelial cells), leading to intra-cellular hyperglycemia ( Brownlee, 2001 ).

  • The hypodermis of adult wild-type worms is made up of several huge hyp-7 cells (or syncytia) which each contain 139 evenly spaced nuclei ( Shemer and Podbilewicz, 2000 ), making them a useful system for investigating nuclear anchorage. (elifesciences.org)
  • According to the model, if the nuclei in hyp-7 cells are exclusively anchored via the SUN-KASH bridge, then loss of the genes for UNC-84 or ANC-1 should have an identical effect and result in the same amount of nuclear clustering. (elifesciences.org)
  • The hypodermis of C. elegans worms (top schematic) is made up of hyp-7 cells which contain over a hundred nuclei (represented as black dots). (elifesciences.org)
  • This causes the mutant worm to have a smaller body size and the nuclei in its hyp-7 cells to be mispositioned. (elifesciences.org)
  • What could be truly exciting, Dr. Lee notes, is the combination of LSD1 inhibitors with antibodies that block programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), a cell surface receptor that keeps the immune system in check. (genengnews.com)

  • While plants have cell walls made of cellulose, a type of complex sugar, the cell walls in fungal cells are made of a substance called chitin. (experimonkey.com)
  • Cell wall is formed of chitin in fungi, cellulose in green plants and absent in animal cells. (aramram.tv)
  • The team (which includes some of the authors involved in the 2018 study) found, as expected, that removing the gene for ANC-1 led to nuclear clustering in hyp-7 cells, indicating that nuclear anchorage had been lost ( Figure 1 ). (elifesciences.org)
