Journal ArticleDOI

Connections between single-cell biomechanics and human disease states: gastrointestinal cancer and malaria

TL;DR: Comparing and contrast chemomechanical pathways whereby intracellular structural rearrangements lead to global changes in mechanical deformability of the cell, and examining the biochemical conditions mediating increases or decreases in modulus, and their implications for disease progression are compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sphingosylphosphorylcholine regulates keratin network architecture and visco-elastic properties of human cancer cells

TL;DR: It is shown that incubation of human epithelial tumour cells with SPC induces a perinuclear reorganization of intact keratin 8–18 filaments, which may facilitate biological phenomena that require a high degree of elasticity, such as squeezing of cells through membranous pores during metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection and Segmentation of Cell Nuclei in Virtual Microscopy Images: A Minimum-Model Approach

TL;DR: A novel contour-based “minimum-model” cell detection and segmentation approach that uses minimal a priori information and detects contours independent of their shape and allows for an accurate segmentation of a broad spectrum of normal and disease-related morphological features without the requirement of prior training.
Journal ArticleDOI

The regulatory role of cell mechanics for migration of differentiating myeloid cells

TL;DR: The observations imply that the dynamical remodeling of cell shape required for tissue infiltration can be frustrated by stiffening the microtubular system, which suggests treatment options for pathologies relying on migration of cells, notably cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytoskeleton in motion: the dynamics of keratin intermediate filaments in epithelia

TL;DR: The current challenge is to unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of the keratin cycle in relation to actin and microtubule networks and in the context of epithelial tissue function.
