A cellular communications system is provided have both satellite nodes and surface nodes for providing mobile cellular communications services for a plurality of mobile user units. The surface and satellite nodes are fully integrated by a network controller for providing service over large areas. Multiple beam, relatively high gain antennas are disposed in the satellite nodes to establish satellite cells having enough gain in the satellite part of the system such that a user unit need only comprise a small, mobile handset with a non-directional antenna for communications with both ground nodes and satellite nodes.

The development of multicellular organisms relies heavily on cell communication. Cells send and receive complex sets of signals, harmonising their growth and differentiation with that of other, often distant, cell populations. In animals, the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) is an important mediator of cell communication. EGFR activation regulates various developmental events in nematodes, insects and vertebrates. In addition, mutations in human EGFRs have been associated with a number of cancers. In Drosophila, a key event triggering EGFR signalling is the regulated release of the extracellular portion of EGFR ligands. Rhomboid (Rho), an unusual polytopic protease, cleaves the transmembrane, inactive ligand precursor into an active, soluble form. Both the target sequence and Rho s catalytic site are embedded within the membrane bilayer and for this reason the reaction has been described as regulated intramembrane proteolysis. The work presented in this thesis begins with the ...

Cellular Communication in YeastsThe first life on our planet consisted of single-celled prokaryotic organisms that had limited interaction with each other. While some external signaling occurs between different species of single-celled organisms, the majority of signaling within bacteria and yeasts concerns only other members of the same species. The evolution of cellular communication is an absolute necessity for the development of multicellular organisms, and this innovation is thought to have required approximately 2.5 billion years to appear in early life forms.. Yeasts are single-celled eukaryotes, and therefore have a nucleus and organelles characteristic of more complex life forms. Comparisons of the genomes of yeasts, nematode worms, fruit flies, and humans illustrate the evolution of increasingly complex signaling systems that allow for the efficient inner workings that keep humans and other complex life forms functioning correctly.. Kinases are a major component of cellular ...

The regulatory mechanisms of the inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic plaque are still not clearly understood. Stimulated T cells may have a key role in enhancing and perpetuating inflammation at the atherosclerotic site. They activate endothelial cells, macrophages and smooth muscle cells in the atherosclerotic plaque, not only via the production of soluble mediators, but also through cell-cell contact-mediated interactions (via membrane receptors and their ligands). Cell/cell contact between stimulated T lymphocytes and monocytes/macrophages and endothelial cells induces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin-6) and chemokines (interleukin-8, monocyte chemotactic factor-1). Thus, these interactions could play a relevant role in the disregulation of the inflammatory process in the atherosclerotic plaque, representing a novel mechanism of progression and complication of the atherosclerotic disease. Understanding the key ligands and receptors

How it works: Rebuilding cell theory. Garcias early research disproved a long-standing hypothesis concerning this cellular feature.. Mammals nervous systems are uniquely equipped with myelination, which has been shown to increase conduction velocity, or the speed at which nerve cells pass signals. Low velocity is often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, so research exploring why could later have application in therapeutic technology.. In addition to myelination, cell size makes a big difference in conduction velocity - the bigger the nerve cells, the faster they can pass and receive signals. Garcias findings disproved a hypothesis that related myelination to this phenomenon.. The hypothesis, published in a 1992 edition of Cell, claimed that myelination causes a cellular process called phosphorylation which then causes an increase in the axonal diameter (width of the communicating part of a nerve cell), leading to faster nerve cell communication. Garcia found that myelination did ...

HIV-1 is believed to spread by two mechanisms in an infected host: by cell-free virions and by cell-associated transmission. The mechanisms of HIV-1 cell-to-cell transmission were not well understood until the recent description of the virological synapse (VS). The VS is a specialised supramolecular structure, formed between an infected effector cell and a permissive target cell, to facilitate direct virus infection of the permissive cell. Direct cell-to-cell spread is probably an important mechanism in tissues densely populated with target cells, such as CD4+ T cells in lymph nodes and the GALT. Moreover, VS-mediated viral transfer may help the virus to hide from elements of the immune system, such as neutralising antibodies and complement. Many areas relating to HIV-1 cell-to-cell spread and VS function remain to be explored. Therefore, the aim of the project behind this thesis was to extend our initial molecular characterisation of the supramolecular structure of VS in T cells and to ...

Surface receptors are integral membrane proteins to which certain signal molecules bind. They generally span the cell membrane, connecting the outside of the cell with the inside, enabling the inner workings of the cell to sense and respond to signals outside of the cell. Each surface receptor is specific with respect to the compound or compounds it will bind; a molecule that can bind to a given receptor is called a ligand for that receptor. When a ligand binds to its surface receptor, the internal portion of the receptor becomes modified in some manner, effectively communicating to the cell that the ligand is present. This then elicits some type of response, such as chemotaxis. ■ chemotaxis, p. 65. Cells can alter the types of surface molecules they make, enabling them to respond only to signals that are relevant when the cell is in a certain location or developmental stage. For example, a dendritic cell in the tissues would respond differently to certain stimuli than one that has migrated to ...

SUAREZ, Jorge E. y BRAVO, Alicia I.. Conexins and the Cardiovascular System. Rev. argent. cardiol. [online]. 2006, vol.74, n.3, pp. 149-156. ISSN 1850-3748.. Intercellular communication is an essential biologic event of multicellular organisms and is associated with cell growth and differentiation control, apoptosis, adaptive responses of differentiated cells and the synchronization of cellular functions. A kind of intercellular junctions known as gap junctions, actively participate in these processes and are structurally made of conexins. From a cardiovascular viewpoint, cell to cell communication, under normal conditions, is essential in cardiac embryogenesis, electrical impulse transmission, synchronization of cardiac contractile activity, transmission of vascular reflex signals and other biological functions. Under pathological conditions, either by inherited or acquired genetic mutation, intercellular communications participate in the development of congenital cardiopathies, ...

Regenerative Medicine, Cell Bilology. With the recent progress in organ transplantation technology and stem-cell research, the practical application of regenerative therapy using stem cell-derivatives has come to public attention. To increase the feasibility of this new concept, however, kinetics and the functional expression of engrafted cells should be strictly controlled in well- organized 3-D tissues. So far, many researches have elucidated part of molecular mechanisms underlying the tissue morphogenesis to accumulate background information for successful cell transplantation. They include: 1) how nascent cells differentiate into functional ones;2) how they establish the proper polarity and the cell-cell junctional apparatus that enable cellular communications,;3) how they arrange functional multicellular structures; and 4) how they determine the overall size and control the shape of the tissue. All such dynamic cellular behaviors are known to be directed by the concerted action of many ...

Most are aware that neurons send neurotransmitter signals to each other in circuits within the brain. My new book, The Secret Language of Cells, shows that similar conversations occur among all the cells in the body and these wide ranging conversations determine all physiological functions. While there are numerous examples of this cellular communication in the book - such as capillary cells sending directional signals for white blood cells to find an infection and capillaries instructing stem cells how to produce particular cells for the brain, this article will focus on a few ways that cellular conversations among immune cells and brain cells affect mental health. Two-way cellular conversations between traveling immune cells and stationary brain cells use signals that are sent as molecules, or molecules inside sacs, that are secreted into tissues, blood vessels, and cerebrospinal fluid. The signals can profoundly affect general cognition and memory, and are highly related to depression and ...

Antigen based immunotherapeutics aim to rehabilitate the immune system and prepare the human body to concur disease. Key factor in this biological process is the immune response via dendritic cells (DCs) that either turn on the immune response or actively dampen unwanted immune inflammation. Current antigen based therapies however still lack an effective response which is potent, antigen specific and durable, and can also rely on a favorable safety profile. Therefore, there is a clear need for improvements in this therapeutic class. GlycoDCTM dendritic cell targeting technology. The core of DC4Us proprietary GlycoDCTM technology is glycation of antigens to which we direct the immune response. Glycans are complex carbohydrate structures that form recognition elements for glycan-specific receptors that, upon recognition, mediate cellular communication. The immuno-therapeutics that can be developed using the GlycoDCTM technology, are exceptional because they are potent, specific, durable, ...

In a mobile cellular communication system, adjacent basestations BS1-BS4 are assigned different selections of different frequency channels to communicate with mobiles in their cells (10, etc.). To improve system quality and capacity, a basestation selects a frequency channel which is not assigned to it or any neighbour station, and makes test communications on that frequency channel with mobiles (e.g. MS1) in its cell. The basestation assesses the potential performance of that frequency channel, and neighbour basestations can monitor for potential interference on that frequency channel. The information so gathered can be analysed by an operations maintenance station OMC.

Membrane proteins play critical roles in cellular communications and are the most popular drug targets, accounting for over a half of the FDA approved drugs. One particularly important example of membrane proteins is G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), which constitute the largest and most diverse protein family in the human genome with over 800 members identified to date.[1] GPCRs are responsible for numerous cellular and physiological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, neurotransmission, development and apoptosis, and cancer growth and development. [2] Unsurprisingly, GPCRs are the largest family of membrane protein drug targets. A key task in studying the physiological functions of GPCRs and developing drugs targeting GPCRs is to measure the binding kinetics of ligands with GPCRs.. GPR39 receptor was studied against 3,4-bis-(2-imidazol-1-ylethoxy)-benzonitrile (AZ1395) [3] using SPRm 200. The GPR39 receptor is expressed in metabolic tissues including pancreatic ...

Using an in vitro model in which a confluent monolayer of capillary endothelial cells is mechanically wounded, gap junction-mediated intercellular communication has been studied by loading the cells with the fluorescent dye, Lucifer Yellow. Approximately 40-50% of the cells in a nonwounded confluent monolayer were coupled in groups of four to five cells (basal level). Basal levels of communication were also observed in sparse and preconfluent cultures, but were reduced in postconfluent monolayers. 30 min after wounding, coupling was markedly reduced between cells lining the wound. Communication at the wound was partially reestablished by 2 h, exceeded basal levels after 6 h and reached a maximum after 24 h, at which stage approximately 90% of the cells were coupled in groups of six to seven cells. When the wound had closed (after 8 d), the increase in communication was no longer observed. Induction of wound-associated communication was unaffected by exposure of the cells to the DNA synthesis ...

The researchers believe targeting the mechanism may lead to new therapies for the symptoms of motor neurone disease.. Otago neurobiologist Associate Professor Ian McLennan and his Aberdeen colleagues have discovered that a protein known as transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) appears to regulate how motor neurons send signals to neighbouring brain cells.. Their findings are newly published in the prestigious US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).. Associate Professor McLennan says the discovery of the TGF-β2proteins previously invisible role in regulating brain cell communication surprised the team.. We did not predict this, and the finding fundamentally alters our understanding of how communication between cells in the brains motor system is controlled. It is also likely that this mechanism plays a role in other brain signalling systems.. Historically it was thought that the information flow from cell to cell was controlled by the number of quanta, or ...

One of the possible applications of single-cell sequencing data is to map potential communication between cell (sub-)types, which can be depicted as intercellular communication networks. These networks can yield detailed insight into the role of different cell types and processes within the complex system of cellular communication during various biological states such as development or disease.

1. Segments of mouse pancreatic or exorbital lacrimal gland were superfused with saline solutions. Under visual control two micro-electrodes were inserted into neighbouring cells within the same acinus or into neighbouring acini. Cell to cell electrical coupling was assessed by injecting rectangular current pulses through one electrode and measuring the electrotonic potential change in the same cell (V(1)) and in the neighbouring cell (V(2)). Acetylcholine (ACh) was added locally to impaled acini by micro-ionophoresis from an extracellular micropipette.2. Exposure of the tissues to a Krebs solution equilibrated with 100% CO(2) caused a rapid increase in the size of electrotonic potential changes in the current injection cell and disappearance of the electrotonic potential changes in a neighbouring acinus or cell. This electrical uncoupling of previously coupled cells was rapidly reversible upon return to a solution equilibrated with 95% O(2) and 5% CO(2).3. Reduction of electrical intercellular ...

16.07.2013 Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have discovered a new form of communication between different cell types in the brain. Nerve cells interact with neighboring glial cells, which results in a transfer of protein and genetic information. Nerve cells are thus protected against stressful growth conditions. The study undertaken by the Mainz-based cell biologists shows how reciprocal communication between the different cell types contributes to neuronal integrity. Their results have been recently published in the journal PLOS Biology. Brain function is determined by the communication between electrically excitable neurons and the surrounding glial cells, which perform many tasks in the brain. Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell and these form an insulating myelin sheath around the axons of neurons. In addition to providing this protective insulation, oligodendrocytes also help sustain neurons in other ways that are not yet fully understood. If this support ...

Abstract :. The development and function of multicellular organisms relies on the ordered communication of cells that function in networks and circuits. Our understanding of cellular communication and its physiological consequences hinges on the ability to modulate specific signals while monitoring effects in intact tissues and behaving animals. In our laboratory, we combine synthetic biology and cell biology to modulate the communication between cells and ultimately intervene with physiology. To achieve this goal, we re-engineer molecular components of the mammalian cellular communication machinery, currently in particular those components that control cell survival, to be responsive to new synthetic stimuli. These stimuli are novel ligands or, more recently, light in optogenetics, which offers control in space and time. For instance, we have recently developed receptor tyrosine kinases, such as the receptors for neurotrophic factors or EGF, that are activated by blue or red light in the ...

The strained relationship between Bradenton Beach and the Center for Municipal Solutions came to an end Feb. 8 with notification the city will repeal its cellular communications tower ordinance.. CMSs Lawrence Rusty Monroe and the city have been feuding for months over language in the ordinance drafted by Monroe and adopted May 5, 2011, under former Mayor Bob Bartelts administration.. As the city moved forward with discussions on installing a cellular communications tower near the public works facility last year, Commissioner Ric Gatehouse observed several issues in the ordinance he found objectionable.. The relationship between the city and Monroe became brittle and shattered at one point, with Monroe withdrawing - saying he would take his ordinance with him.. Monroe said the city had no rights to use his ordinance without agreeing to pay exclusive application review fees to his company, as per the original agreement outlined in his ordinance.. Gatehouse initially wanted the ordinance ...

Recent findings indicate that specific microRNAs (miRNAs), such as those of the miR-17-92 cluster, may be responsible for regulating endothelial gene expression during tumor angiogenesis. Secreted miRNAs enclosed in exosomes also have an important role in cell-cell communication. To elucidate whether miRNAs secreted from neoplastic cells transfer into endothelial cells and are functionally active in the recipient cells, we investigated the effect of exosomal miRNAs derived from leukemia cells (K562) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). As K562 cells released the miR-17-92 cluster, especially miR-92a, into the extracellular environment, K562 cells, transfected with Cy3-labeled pre-miR-92a, were co-cultured with HUVECs. Cy3-miR-92a derived from K562 cells was detected in the cytoplasm of HUVECs, and the Cy3-miR-92a co-localized with the signals of an exosomal marker, CD63. The expression of integrin α5, a target gene for miR-92a, was significantly reduced in HUVECs by exosomal ...

We have identified the liver-regulating protein (LRP), a cell surface protein involved in the maintenance of hepatocyte differentiation when cocultured with rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC). LRP was defined by immunoreactivity to a monoclonal antibody (mAb L8) prepared from RLEC. mAb L8 specifically detected two polypeptides of 85 and 73 kD in immunoprecipitation of both hepatocyte- and RLEC-iodinated plasma membranes. The involvement of these polypeptides, which are integral membrane proteins, in cell interaction-mediated regulation of hepatocytes was assessed by evaluating the perturbing effects of the antibody on cocultures with RLEC. Several parameters characteristic of differentiated hepatocytes were studied, such as liver-specific and house-keeping gene expression, cytoskeletal organization and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). An early cytoskeletal disturbance was evidenced and a marked alteration of hepatocyte functional capacity was observed in the presence of the antibody, ...

The review describes the role of cells of extracellular matrix (ECM) as a source of neoplastic outgrowths additional to the original tumour. The cells undergo a spontaneous transformation or stimulation by the original tumour through intercellular signals, e.g. through Shh protein (sonic hedgehog). Additionally, cells of an inflammatory infiltrate, which frequently accompany malignant tumours and particularly carcinomas, may regulate tumour cell behaviour. This is either by restricting tumour proliferation or, inversely, by induction and stimulation of the proliferation of another tumour cell type, e.g. mesenchymal cells. The latter type of tumour may involve formation of histologically differentiated stromal tumours (GIST), which probably originate from interstitial cells of Cajal in the alimentary tract. Occasionally, e.g. in gastric carcinoma, proliferation involves lymphoid follicles and lymphocytes of GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue), which gives rise to lymphoma. The process is ...

Clone REA718 recognizes the human integrin β5 antigen, a 95 kDa glycoprotein single-pass type I membrane protein. Integrins are a family of transmembrane receptors that mediate adhesion of cells to extracellular matrices, as well as intercellular interactions. These interactions transduce signals that control complex cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation, and survival, and require the regulation of gene expression. Integrins are heterodimeric glycoprotein receptors and exist as non-covalently bound α and β subunits. The integrin αV/β5 heterodimer is found on many types of tissue cells, such as epithelial cells, endothelial cells, keratinocytes, and osteoblastic cells. It is a receptor for fibronectin and vitronectin and acts as a receptor for adenovirus type C. Additional information: Clone REA718 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. - Nederland

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytotoxicity constitutes an important component of specific effector mechanisms in immuno-surveillance against virus-infected or transformed cells. Two mechanisms appear to account for this activity, one of which is the perforin-based process. Independently, a FAS-based mechanism involves the transducing molecule FAS (also designated APO-1) and its ligand (FAS-L). The human FAS protein is a cell surface glycoprotein that belongs to a family of receptors that includes CD40, nerve growth factor receptors and tumor necrosis factor receptors. The FAS antigen is expressed on a broad range of lymphoid cell lines, certain of which undergo apoptosis in response to treatment with antibody to FAS. These findings strongly imply that targeted cell death is potentially mediated by the intercellular interactions of FAS with its ligand or effectors, and that FAS may be critically involved in CTL-mediated cytotoxicity.. ...

The global 3D cell culture market is anticipated to reach USD 1.69 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Potential of this technology to replace and reduce the usage of animal models for histological analysis and biochemical assays is expected to fuel demand for 3D cell culture products thus driving growth in the coming years.. Advent of technology with respect to spheroid formation and matured assay methods is expected to boost the emergence of 3D optimized assays, kits, and protocols, in turn, expediting the entire research process. In addition, the scope of three-dimensional (3D) cell culturing experiments for evaluation of drug moiety is anticipated to grow owing to advantages associated with its usage. These advantages include increased cell to extra cellular matrix (ECM) as well as intercellular interactions, variation in the proliferation zones, ease for analyzing impact of site-specific stromal tissue components in the tumor microenvironment..

Hypoxia is a key factor that accompanies most brain pathologies, including ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases. Reduced oxygen concentration results in irreversible changes in nerve cell metabolism that entails cell death and destruction of intercellular interactions. Since neural networks are responsible for the processing, storage and transmission of information in the brain, the loss of network elements can lead to dysfunction of the central nervous system and, consequently, the development of neurological deficiency and the patients severe disability.. This is the reason why the worlds neurobiological community is currently involved in an active search for compounds that can prevent the death of nerve cells and support their functional activity under stress.. According to Maria Vedunova, Director of the Institute of Biology and Biomedicine at Lobachevsky University (UNN), the Institutes researchers propose to use the bodys own potential to combat hypoxia and its consequences..

The purpose of this study was to examine student influence upon the teacher within the context of a bidirectional model of interaction. The possibility of using the teachers motivational structure as a means of explaining and predicting the occurence of student influence was also considered. -- The theoretical framework for the study was developed from a review of the literature. The key components of the model were: the teachers predispositions, including their motivational structure, the objective situation, and the definition of the situation. Presumably, the teachers behavior would be controlled by their definition of the situation, which would be a function of the predispositional structure and the objective situation. -- The interaction between the teacher and the students in three elementary classrooms was studied. These teachers were chosen from a sample of 54 teachers, who had first been categorized into three groups, on the basis of a Q-Sort. Thus, there was one teacher to represent ...

Researchers at The University of Queensland, working to gain a better understanding of how brain cells work, have discovered the underlying mechanism of a rare genetic mutation that can cause epilepsy.. Dr Victor Anggono from UQs Queensland Brain Institute said his team made the ground-breaking findings while researching nerve cell communications, which are an important process in normal brain function.. Were both excited and astounded to make such an important contribution to the field of cellular and molecular neuroscience, Dr Anggono said.. He stressed that the mutation was extremely rare, with only one reported case in the world to date.. Dr Anggonos team studied protein structures, called receptors, that are attached to cell surfaces to make the discovery.. It turns out that this particular mutation causes receptors in brain cells to behave differently, resulting in an imbalance in brain cell communication - and that can lead to disorders, he said.. For example, cells that talk ...

Bacterial mating or conjugation is the transfer of DNA from one bacterium to another via direct cell-to-cell contact through a mating pore. My current research uses the genetically-tractable bacterium Bacillus subtilis as a model system to explore the function and subcellular localization of a putative component of the bacterial mating pore apparatus. I have been characterizing the protein ConE (formerly YddE) which is encoded on the B. subtilis conjugal element ICEBs1. ConE is related to proteins encoded on conjugal elements in numerous bacteria, including the Gram-positive pathogens S. aureus, C. difficile, and L. monocytogenes. ConE belongs to a large superfamily of ATP-dependent pumps involved in the extrusion of proteins and DNA through membrane pores. I have shown that ConE and its ATPase domain are essential for mating of ICEBs1. In addition, ConE-GFP localizes at the cell poles, in close association with the membrane (see Figure). Given ConEs localization, ATPase domain, and ...

Most immune cell communication takes place by intercellular transfer of cytokines or the contact-dependent interaction of surface receptors in immunological synapses. In this issue of the European Journal of Immunology, Gardell and Parker (Eur. J. Immunol. 2017, 47, 41-50) point to a new, hybrid mechanism for Th1-cell delivery of help to B cells, based on contact-dependent CD40L transfer. The transfer process and its specificity are both cell contact dependent and antigen dependent. CD40 expression is also required on the B-cell surface to capture the CD40L presented by the Th1 cell. While further studies are needed to confirm the phenomenon in vivo and to test the role of transferred CD40L in other aspects of T-cell help, this study provides an exceptional take-off point and makes excellent use of mouse genetics to work out some possible rules for B cells being able to order help to go.

Transwell experiments demonstrated that this was predominantly due to direct cell-cell contact in addition to soluble mediators whereby CDCs produced high levels of PGE2 under inflammatory conditions. This led to down-regulation of CD25 expression on lymphocytes via the EP4 receptor. Blocking prostaglandin synthesis restored both, proliferation and activation (measured via CD25 expression) of stimulated lymphocytes. We demonstrated for the first time in a large animal model that CDCs inhibit proliferation in allo-reactive lymphocytes and have potent immunosuppressive activity mediated via PGE2.

The members of the IgLON superfamily of cell adhesion molecules facilitate fundamental cellular communication during brain development, maintain functional brain circuitry, and are associated with several neuropsychiatric disorders. Usage of alternative promoter-specific 1a and 1b mRNA isoforms in Lsamp, Opcml, Ntm and the single promoter of Negr1 in the mouse and human brain has been previously described. To determine the precise spatiotemporal expression dynamics of Lsamp, Opcml, Ntm isoforms and Negr1, in the developing brain, we generated isoform-specific RNA probes and carried out in situ hybridization in the developing (embryonic, E10.5, 13.5, 17; post natal, P0) and adult mouse brains. We show that promoter-specific expression of IgLONs is established early during pallial development (at E10.5), where it remains throughout its differentiation through adulthood. In the diencephalon, midbrain and hindbrain, strong expression patterns are initiated a few days later and begin fading after birth,

In the present work, we report evidence that in addition to its role on the proliferation of pancreatic progenitor cells, the mesenchyme is crucial in controlling the timing of pancreatic β-cell differentiation. When we cultured rat embryonic pancreatic epithelium in the absence of its surrounding mesenchyme, we found that Ngn3 expression was turned on rapidly and then turned off a few days later, in keeping with the reported in vivo pattern (15,25). Our filter-separation experiments indicate that the mesenchyme-induced delay in Ngn3 induction requires direct contact between the epithelium and the mesenchyme. This result fits in with recent data indicating that direct cell-cell contact between epithelial and mesenchymal cells suppresses β-cell formation (26). We also found that Ngn3 expression occurred far earlier without mesenchyme, within a few hours compared with 3 days with mesenchyme either in vitro or in vivo. This acceleration in Ngn3 induction resembles the pancreatic phenotype of mice ...

The waves are said to be produced in direct response to the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF), and last approximately 10 - 20 minutes before vanishing. Wave cells have become a hot topic of late, as researchers suspect that they play an important role in the transmission and regulation of normal cellular communication.. Under normal circumstances, waves are responsible for selectively collecting growth-promoting proteins and directing them into the inner structure of the cell. This process results in a reorganization of the cells outer infrastructure, where it forms a flexible foot-like structure (lamellipodia) which then allows the cell to move and dock with corresponding epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR). Usually, the wave neutralizes or moderates the internalized growth protein, but in cancer cells, where the wave is either malfunctioning or not present, metastatic cancer occurs as a result of unregulated EGF and EGFR interaction.. These findings have broad implications ...

Signal transduction is the molecular basis for cellular communication. Complex networks of intracellular molecules enable cells to receive signals from their environment and to modify their behavior in response to these signals. Signaling molecules are interconnected, and depending on how they are linked together they can form different types of networks. We have recently described a novel network of proteins that becomes activated by increases in cell sodium permeability and that regulates active sodium transport. Because each component of this sodium-sensing network so far described have been independently associated with multiple and essential cell functions, our work on the network topology and modeling is of importance because it will help us to understand the networks role and complexity when transforming the sodium signal into transcription activation and gene expression leding to changes in myocardial- and/or renal cells growth.. Also, understanding the function and relevance of the ...

Dr. John D. Scott, professor and chair of pharmacology at the University of Washington School of Medicine and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, along with Dr. F. Donelson Smith of the UW and HHMI, led this study, which also involved Drs. Claire and Patrick Eyers and their group at the University of Liverpool.. The researchers explained that key cellular communication machinery is more regionally constrained inside the cell than was previously thought. Communication via this vital system is akin to social networking on your Snapchat account.. Within a cell, the precise positioning of such messaging components allows hormones, the bodys chief chemical communicators, to transmit information to exact places inside the cell. Accurate and very local activation of the enzyme that Scott and his group study helps assure a correct response occurs in the right place and at the right time. The inside of a cell is like a crowded city, said Scott, It is a place of construction and tearing ...
