Wound Healing--Aiming for Perfect Skin Regeneration

TL;DR: Details of how these signals control wound cell activities are beginning to emerge, and studies of healing in embryos have begun to show how the normal adult repair process might be readjusted to make it less like patching up and more like regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell Adhesion: The Molecular Basis of Tissue Architecture and Morphogenesis

TL;DR: A coupling between physical adhesion and developmental signaling provides a mechanism to tightly integrate physical aspects of tissue morphogenesis with cell growth and differentiation, a coordination that is essential to achieve the intricate patterns of cells in tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biological materials: Structure and mechanical properties

TL;DR: In this article, the basic building blocks are described, starting with the 20 amino acids and proceeding to polypeptides, polysaccharides, and polyprotein-saccharide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Mechanisms Controlling Actin Filament Dynamics in Nonmuscle Cells

TL;DR: How motile cells regulate actin filament assembly at their leading edge is reviewed, including how Arp2/3 complex is incorporated into the network, and new filaments are capped rapidly, so that activated Arp1/2 complex must be supplied continuously to keep the network growing.

Cell Migration: A Physically Integrated Molecular Process

TL;DR: The authors are grateful for financial support from the National Institutes of Health (grants GM23244 and GM53905), and to very helpful comments on the manuscript from Elliot Elson, Vlodya Gelfand, Paul Matsudaira, Julie Theriot, and Sally Zigmond.
Journal ArticleDOI

Actin and Actin-Binding Proteins. A Critical Evaluation of Mechanisms and Functions

TL;DR: The present study focuses on the development of binding proteins that bind to the sides of ACTIN FILAMENTS and their applications in the context of nanofiltration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Actin filaments and the growth, movement, and spread of the intracellular bacterial parasite, Listeria monocytogenes.

TL;DR: Once inside a host cell, the infecting Listeria and their progeny can spread from cell to cell by remaining intracellular and thus bypass the humoral immune system of the organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of the Dictyostelium myosin heavy chain gene by homologous recombination

TL;DR: Data are presented demonstrating that integration of a transfected plasmid by homologous recombination occurs in the motile eukaryotic cell Dictyostelium discoideum, providing genetic proof that the intact myosin molecule is required for cytokinesis and not for karyokinesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular motions and thermal fluctuations: the Brownian ratchet

TL;DR: A model for how chemical reactions generate protrusive forces by rectifying Brownian motion is presented, which drives a number of intracellular processes, including filopodial protrusion, propulsion of the bacterium Listeria, and protein translocation.
