Recent studies are reviewed which suggest that cells may sense mechanical stresses, including those due to gravity, through changes in the balance of forces that are transmitted across transmembrane adhesion receptors that link the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix and to other cells (e.g., integrins, cadherins, selectins). The mechanism by which these mechanical signals are transduced and converted into a biochemical response appears to be based, in part, on the finding that living cells use a tension-dependent form of architecture, known as tensegrity, to organize and stabilize their cytoskeleton. Because of tensegrity, the cellular response to stress differs depending on the level of pre-stress (pre-existing tension) in the cytoskeleton and it involves all three cytoskeletal filament systems as well as nuclear scaffolds. Recent studies confirm that alterations in the cellular force balance can influence intracellular biochemistry within focal adhesion complexes that form at the site of integrin binding as well as gene expression in the nucleus. These results suggest that gravity sensation may not result from direct activation of any single gravioreceptor molecule. Instead, gravitational forces may be experienced by individual cells in the living organism as a result of stress-dependent changes in cell, tissue, or organ structure that, in turn, alter extracellular matrix mechanics, cell shape, cytoskeletal organization, or internal pre-stress in the cell-tissue matrix.--Ingber, D.

Mapping the literature of cytotechnology. (2/414)

The major purpose of this study was to identify and assess indexing coverage of core journals in cytotechnology. It was part of a larger project sponsored by the Nursing and Allied Health Resources Section of the Medical Library Association to map the literature of allied health. Three representative journals in cytotechnology were selected and subjected to citation analysis to determine what journals, other publication types, and years were cited and how often. Bradford's Law of Scattering was applied to the resulting list of cited journals to identify core titles in the discipline, and five indexes were searched to assess coverage of these core titles. Results indicated that the cytotechnology journal literature had a small core but wide dispersion: one third of the 21,021 journal citations appeared in only 3 titles; another third appeared in an additional 26 titles; the remaining third were scattered in 1,069 different titles. Science Citation Index Expanded rated highest in indexing coverage of the core titles, followed by MEDLINE, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica, HealthSTAR, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). The study's results also showed that journals were the predominantly cited format and that citing authors relied strongly on more recent literature.  (+info)

Antibodies and sperm survival in the female tract of the mouse and rabbit. (3/414)

Rabbit and mouse spermatozoa from male and female tracts have been examined for their species-antigenic surface character, and for adherent antibodies, by double immunofluorescence techniques. Mouse spermatozoa from the ductus deferens showed an area over the acrosome which was positive to anti-mouse serum that had been absorbed with some male mouse somatic tissues including blood, but those from the uterus and oviduct were not stained. Spermatozoa from the uterus were shown to have an antibody coat on the acrosome, with anti-mouse IgG, but those from the ductus deferens and oviduct did not. Rabbit spermatozoa were more variable but their activity was similar: ejaculated spermatozoa sometimes already had antibody of male origin; the majority of the spermatozoa arriving early in the uterus were coated, but in general those that attained the oviducts were not coated. The results are interpreted as evidence for selection by the female tract of a small antigenically different population; the majority of spermatozoa are rejected and/or destroyed.  (+info)

A new miniature hydrostatic pressure chamber for microscopy. Strain-free optical glass windows facilitate phase-contrast and polarized-light microscopy of living cells. Optional fixture permits simultaneous control of pressure and temperature. (4/414)

This paper describes the development of a miniature, temperature-controlled, stainless steel pressure chamber which uses strain-free optical glass for windows. It is directly adaptable to standard phase-contrast and polarized-light microscopes and requires a minimum amount of equipment to generate and measure pressure. Birefringence retardation (BR) og 0.1 nm up to 3,000 psi, 0.4 nm up to 5,000 psi and 1.0 nm up to 10,000 psi can be detected over a 0.75-mm central field with two strain-free Leitz 20 times UM objectives, one used as a condenser. In phase-contrast studies a Nikon DML 40 times phase objective and Zeiss model IS long working-distance phase condenser were used, with little deterioration of image quality or contrast at pressures as high as 12,000 psi. The actual design process required a synthesis of various criteria which may be categorized under four main areas of consideration: (a) specimen physiology; (b) constraints imposed by available optical equipment and standard microscope systems; (c) mechanical strength and methods for generating pressure; and (d) optical requirements of the chamber windows. Procedures for using the chambers, as well as methods for shifting and controlling the temperature within the chamber, are included.  (+info)

Prototype Web-based continuing medical education using FlashPix images. (5/414)

Continuing Medical Education (CME) is a requirement among practicing physicians to promote continuous enhancement of clinical knowledge to reflect new developments in medical care. Previous research has harnessed the Web to disseminate complete pathology CME case studies including history, images, diagnoses, and discussions to the medical community. Users submit real-time diagnoses and receive instantaneous feedback, eliminating the need for hard copies of case material and case evaluation forms. This project extends the Web-based CME paradigm with the incorporation of multi-resolution FlashPix images and an intuitive, interactive user interface. The FlashPix file format combines a high-resolution version of an image with a hierarchy of several lower resolution copies, providing real-time magnification via a single image file. The Web interface was designed specifically to simulate microscopic analysis, using the latest Javascript, Java and Common Gateway Interface tools. As the project progresses to the evaluation stage, it is hoped that this active learning format will provide a practical and efficacious environment for continuing medical education with additional application potential in classroom demonstrations, proficiency testing, and telepathology. Using Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and above, the working prototype Web-based CME environment is accessible at http://telepathology.upmc.edu/WebInterface/NewInterface/welcome.html.  (+info)

A brief history of the Japan Society for Cell Biology. (6/414)

The Japan Society for Cell Biology (JSCB) was first founded in 1950 as the Japan Society for Cellular Chemistry under the vigorous leadership of Seizo Katsunuma, in collaboration with Shigeyasu Amano and Satimaru Seno. The Society was provisionally named as above simply because cell biology had not yet been coined at that time in Japan, although in prospect and reality the Society was in fact for the purpose of pursuing cell biology. Later in 1964, the Society was properly renamed as the Japan Society for Cell Biology. After this renaming, the JSCB made great efforts to adapt itself to the rapid progress being made in cell biology. For this purpose the Society's constitution was created in 1966 and revised in 1969. According to the revised constitution, the President, Executive Committee and Councils were to be determined by ballot vote. The style of the annual meetings was gradually modified to incorporate general oral and poster presentations in addition to Symposia (1969-1974). The publication of annual periodicals in Japanese called Symposia of the Japan Society for Cellular Chemistry (1951-1967) and later Symposia of the Japan Society for Cell Biology (1968-1974) was replaced by a new international journal called Cell Structure and Function initiated in 1975. This reformation made it possible for the Society to participate in the Science Council of Japan in 1975 and finally in 1993 to acquire its own study section of Cell Biology with grants-in-aid from the Ministry of Education and Science, Japan. The JSCB hosted the 3rd International Congress on Cell Biology (ICCB) in 1984 and the 3rd Asian-Pacific Organization for Cell Biology (APOCB) Congress in 1998, thus contributing to the international advancement of cell biology. Now the membership of JSCB stands at approximately 1,800 and the number of presentations per meeting is 300 to 400 annually. Although a good number of interesting and important findings in cell biology have been reported from Japan, the general academic activity of the JSCB is far less than one might expect. This is simply due the fact that academic activity in the field of cell biology in Japan is divided among several other related societies such as the Japan Society for Molecular Biology and the Japan Society for Developmental Biology, among others.  (+info)

Myocardial lysis in acute rheumatic fever followed by regeneration of cardiac muscle and origin of Aschoff bodies. (7/414)

In acute rheumatic heart disease, lysis of cardiac muscle fibres with or without retention of sarcolemma is found to be the most damaging feature in many cases. In deeper myocardium the cellular lysis often forms anastomosing clefts or sinus-like spaces between surviving muscle bundles and in the outer portion of myocardium cellular lysis may leave the sarcolemma more or less intact. From lysing cardiac muscle fibres there arise dedifferentiated cells with remarkable potentiality for regeneration. For the origin of these dedifferentiated cells, which are often indistinguishable from lymphocytes, no mitosis is seen in cardiac muscle cells. The successive stages of development of muscle cell from these dedifferentiated cells within the remaining or newly formed sarcolemma have been observed in this study. This study infers that the increased number of fibrous septa, when seen, denotes the tracks of previous muscle degeneration and subsequent replacement of it with incomplete muscle regeneration and fibrous tissue formation. In an area of muscle lysis the origin of Aschoff bodies from these dedifferentiated cells has been followed. Ashoff bodies arising in this was behave as an abortive and atypical growth of muscle fibres in a nodular fashion specific to rheumatic fever.  (+info)

Papanicolaou tests diagnosed as atypical by a cytotechnologist and downgraded to benign by a pathologist: a measure of laboratory quality. (8/414)

Follow-up of Papanicolaou (Pap) tests diagnosed as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) or atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance (AGUS) by a cytotechnologist and downgraded to benign by a pathologist has not been measured. Squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) follow-up rates were obtained for Pap tests diagnosed as ASCUS (288) or AGUS (94) and downgraded to benign and for Pap tests diagnosed as repair (231). Statistically significant associations were seen between 7 cytotechnologists and between 7 pathologists and ASCUS, AGUS, downgraded ASCUS, and downgraded AGUS rates. The percentage of downgraded ASCUS cases compared with all ASCUS cases per pathologist ranged from 4.8% to 43.7%. Statistically significant associations between pathologists and SIL follow-up rates for downgraded ASCUS diagnoses were seen. The SIL follow-up rate for repair (7.9%) was similar to that for a downgraded ASCUS (11.0%) or AGUS (7.3%). The parameters of downgraded ASCU and AGUS Pap test interpretations are good quality indicators of individual performance and overall laboratory quality.  (+info)

Cytologists and cell biologists are both focused on cancer cells, yet there is very little cross-talk between these two fields. This session aims to create common ground through an in-depth description of the cell biology basis of cytologists criteria of malignancy. This session will be useful for cytologists who wish to collaborate or work in cancer research, and for educators who want to stay abreast of the rapid developments in research related to cytology. In addition to facilitating communication and collaboration, it is our experience that an understanding of the cell biology basis for morphologic changes helps reinforce a thorough understanding of the criteria of malignancy. This session therefore should have appeal for cytologists at all levels of experience-from beginners who want to learn or reinforce diagnostic concepts to senior cytologists who want to know the latest developments in the histone code or anoikis mechanisms. The session would also be useful for cell biologists who may ...

Because cell biologists seek to understand how cells function both under normal conditions and in disease states such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes and muscular dystrophy, the CDB emphasis constitutes a middle road for those planning medical careers. In addition to the standard techniques of biochemistry and molecular biology, cell biologists employ a powerful array of optical and physiological techniques to measure and manipulate the location and concentration of ions and molecules within living cells and subcellular organelles, and even the forces exerted by cells on their surroundings ...

The two went to Woods Hole to see if Bob and Anne Goldmans antibodies to mammalian cytoskeletal proteins would recognize yeast proteins. By chance, Kilmartin was there with his new monoclonal antitubulin antibody, which he had already managed to get into spheroplasts. The spheroplasts showed good IF, but had lost the original cells shape and organization. We decided to try to fix the cells before removing the cell wall, Adams recalls. It worked. It was exciting to see cytoplasmic microtubules in yeast that are hard to see by EM, but by IF they really stood out.. IF tools now in hand, Adams and Pringle returned to the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, MI), and Kilmartin to the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, UK) to delve further into the roles of actin and microtubules. Kilmartin examined actin by IF while Adams stained it with the newly available fluorescent phalloidin.. In two papers, they described the distribution of actin in cortical patches and cytoplasmic cables that ...

I believe that as a society, we see heroes as individuals who are extremely bright and special, but who go solo and owe little to the majority of people around them. I believe we also perceive dependence on teamwork as a vulnerability instead of an enhancement of any single individual capacity to reach a goal. Thus, the quality I admire in my scientific heroes is the genuine recognition of their dependence on their team members as well as their projected perception that their incredible discoveries and (scientific) accomplishments are the result of an interdependent community.. What do you like to read, learn, or think about outside of lab?. I think a lot about biases and how they can affect my thinking and behaviors.

We are seeking a highly motivated and dedicated postdoctoral research scientist to further explore this novel role of Chk1 in mitosis by investigating ...
Many adult tissues are renewed from small populations of stem cells, which continually replace differentiated cells lost to damage or age. Since tissue stem cells are highly dependent on signals from their local microenvironments, or niches, understanding how niches work is important for manipulating regeneration. To answer this question, the Matunis lab combines genetics, live imaging, and genome-wide approaches to understand how the germline and somatic cells in the testis that create and reside in the testis niche cooperatively ensure a lifetime supply of sperm. ...
An area that has seen the successful integration of theory and experiment is the cell cycle. Many of the discoveries in cell‐cycle research have been made by studying unicellular yeast species in which the cell cycle is controlled by a complex network that integrates signals both from within the cell and from the surrounding environment. The giant African frog Xenopus laevis, which lacks genetics tools and must choreograph mitosis with the development of a metazoan body plan, would at first glance appear to be an unpromising organism for gaining quantitative insight into the cell cycle. However, it is in this system that Ferrell and colleagues have produced fascinating work on the key components of the eukaryotic cell‐cycle network.. A feature of X. laevis that makes it particularly amenable to quantitative studies is that the first 12 cleavages of the early embryo occur synchronously and at regular intervals of around half an hour. These blastomere cells seem to lack most, if not all, of ...

Cell biologists have long thought that cytokinesis, the final step of cell division in which the cytoplasm and its contents are split, is necessary for the proper assortment of chromosomes. Disrupt this process, the prevailing wisdom held, and aneuploidy will result, with cancerous implications. But a team led by Mark Burkard at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has discovered a new type of cell division, dubbed klerokinesis, that protects cells from failed cytokinesis.. Using live-cell imaging, the researchers watched retinal pigment epithelial cells for five days after they had chemically inhibited cytokinesis. Reporting today at the American Society for Cell Biologys annual meeting in San Francisco, they showed that many cells managed to split into two during the first growth phase of the next cell cycle-not during mitosis-allowing each to recover a normal chromosome set. Burkard says that therapeutic strategies that boost this type of nonmitotic cell fission could prevent cancer in ...

Youre a quantitative person and you want to learn biology. My friend, you are in a difficult situation. If you really want to learn how biology works in a big-picture sense, as opposed to cutting yourself a very narrow slice of the great biological pie, then you have a challenging road ahead of you. Fortunately, many have walked it before you, and I want to give you some advice based on my own experiences. I should say at the outset that my own learning has focused mostly on the cell-biology part of the pie - not physiology, zoology, ecology, … and so my comments here refer to learning cell biology.. The scary thing is that I have been at this for almost 20 years (very part-time admittedly) and I would never dare to call myself a cell biologist. But I think its fair to say that by now I have a decent sense of what I know and what I dont know. I will never be able to draw out the Krebs cycle, but I have a qualitative sense of its purpose and importance, as well as of general principles of ...

2Institute of Protein Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, Pushchino, Russia. Alternative splicing is an important regulatory mechanism in higher eukaryotes. By recent estimates, at least 30% of human genes are spliced alternatively (1). Alternative splicing plays a major role in sex determination in Drosophila, antibody response in humans and other tissue or developmental stage specific processes. The database of alternatively spliced genes can be of potential use for molecular biologists studying splicing, developmental biologists, geneticists, and cell biologists. We have created a public Alternative Splicing Database (ASDB) (2) for the biological community as a repository of data on alternatively spliced genes. ASDB is currently available at the URL http://hazelton.lbl.gov/~teplitski/alt/. The administrator of the database can be contacted by Email: [email protected] Our original set of 1663 proteins was generated by selecting all SwissProt entries containing the words alternative splicing. ...

A new method of imaging cells is allowing scientists to see tiny structures inside the control centre of the cell for the first time.. The microscopic technique, developed by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, represents a major advance for cell biologists as it will allow them to investigate structures deep inside the cell, such as viruses, bacteria and parts of the nucleus in depth.. Recent advances in optical physics have made it possible to use fluorescent microscopy to study complex structures smaller than 200 nanometres (nm) - around 500 times smaller than the width of a human hair. These methodologies are called super-resolution microscopy.. The drawback of such techniques is that they can only produce very clear images of structures that are at the bottom of the cell. Since the nucleus - the cells control centre - is in the middle of the cell and bacterial and viral infections can happen anywhere in the cell, this technique has considerable limitations for ...
One of The Hormel Institutes research leaders is targeting childhood brain cancer under a new project recently approved for federal funding.. Dr. Edward Hinchcliffe, leader of the Cellular Dynamics research section at The Hormel Institute, University of Minnesota, has been awarded a two-year grant totaling nearly $422,000 from the U.S. Department of Defense. Under the grant, Hinchcliffes team seeks to better understand one potential cause of pediatric brain cancer: mistakes made during cell division or mitosis (one cell becoming two) that cause rearrangements of chromosomes called chromosome instability.. Hinchcliffe, a basic cell biologist who is an expert microscopist (research using microscopes) and leader in the field of live-cell imaging, will run experiments to gain knowledge of how mistakes during cell division can contribute to brain cancer progression in children and, most importantly, seek to identify cellular mechanisms linked to gene mutations seen in patients.

Merging two disparate technologies, a team of chemists and engineers created a revolutionary new tool for cell biologists In 2001, just as a new scientific field called systems biology was emerging, Toronto chemist Dr. Scott Tanner, who was working in private industry, happened to meet biologist Dr. John Dick, a senior scientist at the citys University Health Network. It was
The conference opened with a key note lecture delivered by Professor Jen Sheen, who began in contrast to the typical fashion of justifying why plant science is important, by displaying some of her own craftsmanship of photography and horticulture, to instead remind us how diverse and beautiful plants really are. Professor Sheen has spent much of her career delving into the world of how sugars, mainly glucose and also nitrates, act as a signalling molecules in plants. Dissecting this process is truly an interesting topic for a cell biologist, these processes are important to organisms at a multitude of levels, and critically they are not static, and are among a tangle of interconnections. Professor Sheens description of these processes made for an excellent talk at the cutting edge of molecular biology.. In organellar biology I was excited to meet Dr. Jesse Woodson, who presented the findings of his recent Science paper (Woodson JD, et al. 2015. Science 350:450-4) together with some previously ...
This perspective tackles the issues facing developmental biologists and cell biologists regarding how the molecular mechanisms for specifying cell fate are defined. This perspective focuses on members of the Wnt family. The author proposes that Wnt proteins may act as stabilizing signals for earlier inductive events in certain systems, for example, in Caenorhabditis elegans during the migration of two neurons and in Drosophila melanogaster during the patterning of the wing.
It has been unclear thus far how the two bacterial effectors Tir and EspFU enter into contact with one another in the host cell, says Theresia Stradal. Her research group has now found the missing link: The molecule comes from the host cell, is called IRSp53 and gathers on the cell surface, directly beneath the bacteria sitting on it, explains cell biologist Markus Ladwein, who is also involved in the project. IRSp53, then, establishes the connection between Tir and EspFU. It ensures that actin conversion is concentrated locally. Together with the biochemist Dr. Stefanie Weiß, a former post-graduate student with the research group, Markus Ladwein also provided the counter evidence: Cells in which IRSp53 is lacking are no longer able to form pedestals for the bacteria ...
At NIMR Medawar turned his attention to investigating the immunosuppressive qualities of ALS, as mentioned in the previous section. He encouraged and supported scientists at the Institute and recruited an additional number working in disciplines caught up in the spin-out of immunological ideas and questions. It was a heady time. I joined at the end of 1968, and started collaborative experiments contributing to the definition of phenotypically and functionally different subpopulations of T cells [39-41]. I was caught up in the ferment in which microbiologists, cell biologists, physiologists, biochemists, as well as research clinicians in various specialities, moved in and out of each others laboratories talking about ideas and results. These conversations continued during lunch and coffee breaks, and in the bar at the end of the day. I was encouraged to try new in vitro approaches to cell-mediated immunity. I went to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) where I gained experience of growing ...
An educational app created at the University of Alberta is giving cell biology students a brand new perspective on their subject and may also offer a glimpse into the not-so-distant future of post-secondary education.. The Cell 101 VR App shows students a virtual reality perspective of the inner workings of cells and their interactions, allowing them to visualize cell biology in a way they never could before.. Everything that cells do is because of their internal machinery, but how this machinery is constructed from proteins and other biomolecules is very hard for students to conceptualize, said Paul LaPointe, an associate professor of cell biology at the U of A who helped create the application. He said its a difficult concept to illustrate and contextualize, making it difficult for students to understand that when a drug does something in the cell, its because it fits in the recesses of the proteins inside, preventing them from taking a mechanical action. If you can tap into their ...

Actin-based cell motility and force generation are central to immune response, tissue development, and cancer metastasis, and understanding actin cytoskeleton regulation is a major goal of cell biologists. Cell spreading is a commonly used model system for motility experiments - spreading fibroblasts exhibit stereotypic, spatially-isotropic edge dynamics during a reproducible sequence of functional phases: 1) During early spreading, cells form initial contacts with the surface. 2) The middle spreading phase exhibits rapidly increasing attachment area. 3) Late spreading is characterized by periodic contractions and stable adhesions formation. While differences in cytoskeletal regulation between phases are known, a global analysis of the spatial and temporal coordination of motility and force generation is missing. Implementing improved algorithms for analyzing edge dynamics over the entire cell periphery, we observed that a single domain of homogeneous cytoskeletal dynamics dominated each of the three

In cell biology, as in love, you often dont know what youve got till its gone. For more than a century, scientists have known that most cells in the human body come equipped with an odd projection on their outer surfaces called the primary cilium. Unlike the wavy, hairlike cilia you may remember from biology class-the ones that sweep mucus out of the airways-the primary cilia are rigid and didnt seem to have any useful function. They were written off as vestigial, like tonsils or the appendix.. But 10 years ago, a handful of cell biologists including UABs Bradley Yoder, Ph.D., began to unravel the secrets of this obscure organelle. Starting in green algae and only lately moving up to humans, they made a startling discovery: If a cell loses its cilium, bad things begin to happen. Their investigations have revealed that, far from being an artifact, the primary cilium is actually an important communications device-and a major player in human growth and development, kidney disease, obesity, ...

Computational modeling can be used to investigate complex signaling networks in biology. However, most modeling tools are not suitable for molecular cell biologists with little background in mathematics. We have built a visual-based modeling tool for the investigation of dynamic networks. Here, we describe the development of computational models of cartilage development and osteoarthritis, in which a panel of relevant signaling pathways are integrated. In silico experiments give insight in the role of each of the pathway components and reveal which perturbations may deregulate the basal healthy state of cells and tissues. We used a previously developed computational modeling tool Analysis of Networks with Interactive Modeling (ANIMO) to generate an activity network integrating 7 signal transduction pathways resulting in a network containing over 50 nodes and 200 interactions. We performed in silico experiments to characterize molecular mechanisms of cell fate decisions. The model was used to ...

Fluorescence microscopy is the primary tool for studying complex processes inside individual living cells. Technical advances in both molecular biology and microscopy have made it possible to image cells from many genetic and environmental backgrounds. These images contain a vast amount of information, which is often hidden behind various sources of noise, convoluted with other information and stochastic in nature. Accessing the desired biological information therefore requires new tools of computational image analysis and modeling. Here, we review some of the recent advances in computational analysis of images obtained from fluorescence microscopy, focusing on bacterial systems. We emphasize techniques that are readily available to molecular and cell biologists but also point out examples where problem-specific image analyses are necessary. Thus, image analysis is not only a toolkit to be applied to new images but also an integral part of the design and implementation of a microscopy experiment. ...

When neurons started dying in Clive Svendsens lab dishes, he couldnt have been more pleased.. The dying cells the same type lost in patients with the devastating neurological disease spinal muscular atrophy confirmed that the University of Wisconsin-Madison stem cell biologist had recreated the hallmarks of a genetic disorder in the lab, using stem cells derived from a patient. By allowing scientists the unparalleled opportunity to watch the course of a disease unfold in a lab dish, the work marks an enormous step forward in being able to study and develop new therapies for genetic diseases.. As reported this week in the journal Nature, Svendsen and colleagues at UW-Madison and the University of Missouri-Columbia created disease-specific stem cells by genetically reprogramming skin cells from a patient with spinal muscular atrophy, or SMA. In this inherited disease, the most common genetic cause of infant mortality, a mutation leads to the death of the nerves that control skeletal ...

Many areas of biological research increasingly perform large-scale analyses. In genomics the entire gene repertoire of an organism is analyzed. Proteomics attempts to understand the function and expression patterns of all proteins in a cell or organism. Cell biologists study large numbers of single cells to understand the heterogeneity of cell populations. In biotechnology and synthetic biology researchers search for new functional biomolecules in large libraries of biomolecular diversity e.g. for uses in medicine or bioprocessing. More and more all of these fields employ high throughput methods to achieve the scale of analysis necessary.. Miniaturization and parallelization provide routes towards high throughput analysis, which have proven successful for microelectronics as well as for DNA sequencing. For the analysis of cells and biomolecules, native to an aqueous environment, miniaturization and parallelization hinges on the handling and parallel processing of very small amounts of water. ...

Each one looked like a tiny storm cloud, ensconced in a warm dish and protected by a jelly-like dome. Chen, a stem-cell biologist at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City, and her team had nurtured them from clumps of human cells, adding nutrients every few days as they grew into 3D air sacs. These lung organoids matured until they reached the size of a lentil. Then, the team packed them up and transported them just a few blocks away, to a laboratory authorized to work with SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. There, the organoids were drowned in virus and each was doused with one of 15,000 drugs. Almost all of the mini lungs died, but a few of the drugs stemmed from the infection — representing a handful of possible treatments for COVID-19. Chen is one of many cell biologists who have been driven by the pandemic to push the boundaries
Engineers, design architects and cell biologists from the University of Pennsylvania will use a National Science Foundation grant to utilize the flexibility and sensitivity of human cells as the models for next-generation building
Alternative Health and Wellness Interview, In recent columns, I have presented the evidence that vitamin E and other antioxidant nutrients are protective against heart disease. People -- especially scientists -- have trouble understanding this fact until they know how vitamin E accomplishes this feat. One scientist -- a cell biologist and biochemist -- has done much to establish the necessary cellular evidence elucidating the protective mechanism. Dr. David Janero is a member of the senior staff in the Cardiovascular- Atherosclerosis Research Department of CIBA-GEIGY Corporation, Pharmaceuticals Division.

Running rodents make more of a Miracle-Gro chemical for the brain. A protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, has been labeled as the Miracle-Gro protein in the brain based on its role in enhancing memory and the growth of nerve cells. Researchers found in a study using mice that BDNF levels increase within the brain when the mice exercise on the wheel. We believe that our study shows a precise biological mechanism behind increased BDNF production in mammals due to exercise, says study senior investigator and cell biologist Moses Chao, PhD. Unraveling the mysteries of BDNF is important as we seek more ways to naturally keep mammalian brains healthy, including those or people, said Chao, a professor at NYU Langone and its Skirball Institute of Biomolecular Medicine.

To address these questions, we primarily study a eukaryotic model organism, the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. These are simple rod-shaped cells that display a highly uniform size and rod-shape morphology. We seek to elucidate quantitative molecular and biomechanical mechanisms underlying the dynamic cellular processes responsible for morphogenesis of the cell. In our work, we use interdisciplinary approaches, combining the expertise and perspectives of cell biologists, geneticists, physicists, and engineers. We seek to develop new approaches to manipulate and assay processes in living cells, using microscopy, genetics, and micro-fabricated devices ...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a devastating brain cancer for which there is no known cure. Its malignancy is due to rapid cell division along with high motility and invasiveness of cells into the brain tissue. Simple 2-dimensional laboratory assays (e.g., a scratch assay) commonly are used to measure the effects of various experimental perturbations, such as treatment with chemical inhibitors. Several mathematical models have been developed to aid the understanding of the motile behavior and proliferation of GBM cells. However, many are mathematically complicated, look at multiple interdependent phenomena, and/or use modeling software not freely available to the research community. These attributes make the adoption of models and simulations of even simple 2-dimensional cell behavior an uncommon practice by cancer cell biologists. Herein, we developed an accurate, yet simple, rule-based modeling framework to describe the in vitro behavior of GBM cells that are stimulated by the L1CAM protein using
When Fuchs started working on skin-derived stem cells during the fields nascency in 1978, the cells went by a different name.. Human epidermal keratinocytes. A very boring name, she said. We now, of course, know that virtually every tissue of our body has long-lived stem cells that are able to regenerate tissue, both to repair dying cells and also to repair wounds, so its virtually a universal property of the tissues of our body. But back then, there was very little known about it.. At that time, Fuchs was a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the lab of Howard Green, a cell biologist who pioneered skin grafting by growing human cells in culture. When Fuchs was a graduate student at Princeton working on bacterial sporulation, she had attended a guest seminar by Green about culturing cells from human skin.. I just immediately thought, Thats what I want to work on for my postdoctoral work, Fuchs said. It was at the time where a few people were starting ...
ART medical treatment still the only treatment available since we still dont have a vaccine for HIV- The treatment reduces the level of the virus in the patient so they no longer have AIDS- Aquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and/or cannot transmit infection to partners.. * Note: I have already briefly mention these 2 procedures in my introduction**. One way to study the process of penetration of the host cell by the virus is to use time lapse cine photo microscopy When I was invited by Dr. P. Thorlakson of the Winnipeg Clinic in 1965 to set up at their Clinic a private research Laboratory we purchased a Sage time lapse photo microscopic apparatus to study the cell behaviour of human cells grown in tissue culture. I was familiar with blastogenesis- the process of cell division following the addition of phytoaggultin to the blood culture .-the procedure that cytogeneticist use to perform chromosomal analysis.- indeed I was the first cell biologist in Winnipeg to establish a private cytogenetic ...
The Infusoria or Ciliophora, as they are now called have long been recognized as a monophyletic assemblages. The composition of the group has remained largely unchanged since Faure-Fremiet (1950) included among holotrich ciliates, the suctorians, which had often not been included with the other ciliates by the specialists of the day (Corliss 1979). The classification of the group remained largely unchanged in the 20th century after Corliss (1961) formalized Faure-Fremiets conceptual vision, based primarily on the morphostatic morphology of the cells, derived from observation of the silver-stained ciliate cortex, and coupled with ontogenetic characters revealed through observation of division morphogenesis, and particularly stomatogenesis. Electron microscopy was just beginning as Corliss (1961) went to press. In the ensuing decades exploration of this new level of organization revealed a wealth of new characters for both cell biologists and systematists. These new data, accompanied by new ...
A physician and cell biologist who won a 1972 Nobel Prize for his work describing the structure of antibodies, Edelman is now obsessed with the enigma of human consciousness-except that he does not see it as an enigma. In Edelmans grand theory of the mind, consciousness is a biological phenomenon and the brain develops through a process similar to natural selection. Neurons proliferate and form connections in infancy; then experience weeds out the useless from the useful, molding the adult brain in sync with its environment. Edelman first put this model on paper in the Zurich airport in 1977 as he was killing time waiting for a flight. Since then he has written eight books on the subject, the most recent being Second Nature: Brain Science and Human Knowledge. He is chairman of neurobiology at the Scripps Research Institute in San Diego and the founder and director of the Neurosciences Institute, a research center in La Jolla, California, dedicated to unconventional high risk, high payoff ...
Individual muscles tend to be a mixture of various fiber types, but their proportions vary depending on the actions of that muscle and the species. For instance, in humans, the quadriceps muscles contain ~52% type I fibers, while the soleus is ~80% type I.[29] The orbicularis oculi muscle of the eye is only ~15% type I.[29] Motor units within the muscle, however, have minimal variation between the fibers of that unit. It is this fact that makes the size principal of motor unit recruitment viable. The total number of skeletal muscle fibers has traditionally been thought not to change. It is believed there are no sex or age differences in fiber distribution; however, proportions of fiber types vary considerably from muscle to muscle and person to person. Sedentary men and women (as well as young children) have 45% type II and 55% type I fibers.[citation needed] People at the higher end of any sport tend to demonstrate patterns of fiber distribution e.g. endurance athletes show a higher level of ...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, scleroderma and liver cirrhosis are just a few of a pantheon of confusingly named, difficult-to-treat and sometimes life-threatening diseases caused by the malfunction of a single cell type. But until now its not been clear whether the disorders shared a deeper root cause.. Now Stanford pathologist Gerlinde Wernig, MD, and stem cell biologist Irving Weissman, MD, have identified a cell signaling pathway that, when mutated, causes widespread fibrosis in laboratory mice. Whats more, they showed that an antibody currently in trials as an anti-cancer treatment can reverse the condition. They published their results this week in the Proceedings of the National Academies of Science.. From our release:. ...
So I had the pleasure of meeting the awesome Dr. Isis a few weeks ago. It turns out she is even more awesome in person than she is in pseudonymity. And she brought me a fabulous thing: a scarf from A Slice of Life Scarves. Creator Eve Reaven, a Bay Area cell biologist, has continuously marveled at the intricacy and beauty of the natural patterns found inside cells. She shares what she has seen with others through designs for scarves and other textiles. In the current selection, she captures the essence of structures related to cell movement, cell traffic, energy and performance. Many of the cell structures represented in these patterns are magnified 50,000 to 1,000,000 times their original size, allowing us to experience the amazing designs created by nature. It doesnt really sound that attractive - honestly, when I think of microtomes, I always think of a horrifically bloody accident I saw as an undergrad - but the patterns are gorgeous. I was wearing gray (which is very big this year), so I ...
