Adhesion of cells to surfaces coated with polylysine

TL;DR: The attachment of cells to the polylysine-treated surfaces can be exploited for a variety of experimental manipulations and is found to be the case for nuclei isolated from sea urchin embryos and for the microtubules of flagella, which are well displayed after the membrane has been disrupted by Triton X-100.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adhesion of cells to surfaces coated with polylysine. Applications to electron microscopy.

TL;DR: For example, cells of many kinds adhere firmly to glass or plastic surfaces which have been pretreated with polylysine as discussed by the authors and the attachment takes place as soon as the cells make contact with the surfaces, and the flattening of the cells against the surfaces is quite rapid.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Centrosome and Its Mode of Inheritance: The Reduction of the Centrosome during Gametogenesis and Its Restoration during Fertilization

TL;DR: It is postulated that the restoration of the zygotic centrosome at fertilization requires the attraction of maternal centrosomal components to the paternal reproducing element; this, along with post-translational modifications, creates a functional zygotesome by blending both maternal and paternal constituents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energy metabolism in human pluripotent stem cells and their differentiated counterparts.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that, although the metabolic signature of IPSCs is not identical to that of hESCs, nonetheless they cluster with h ESCs rather than with their somatic counterparts, revealing that human pluripotent cells rely mostly on glycolysis to meet their energy demands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ubiquitin tag for sperm mitochondria

TL;DR: It is shown here that sperm mitochondria inside fertilized cow and monkey eggs are tagged by the recycling marker protein ubiquitin, which is a death sentence that is written during spermatogenesis and executed after the sperm mitochondira encounter the egg's cytoplasmic destruction machinery.
