The plasma membrane potential and the organization of the actin cytoskeleton of epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Evidence is reviewed showing that changes in the PMP of diverse epithelial cells promote characteristic modifications in the cytoskeletal organization, with a focus on the actin cytoskeleton.

Label-free analysis of GPCR-stimulation: The critical impact of cell adhesion.

TL;DR: Cell adhesion was found to have a critical impact on the results of label-free cell monitoring, in particular when techniques based on evanescent electric fields are applied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Afamin secreted from nonresorbing osteoclasts acts as a chemokine for preosteoblasts via the Akt-signaling pathway

TL;DR: It is found that osteoclasts themselves play a central role in the coupling of bone resorption and formation by stimulating preosteoblast migration, and afamin is identified as one of osteoclast-derived chemokines that affectPreosteoblasts through the activation of the Akt-signaling pathway.

G-protein coupled receptors in stem cell self-renewal and differentiation

TL;DR: This review aims to give an overview of the current knowledge of the regulation of embryonic and somatic stem cell maintenance and differentiation by GPCR ligands.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current approaches to studying membrane organization

TL;DR: A swathe of new technological advances are discussed that may be applied to understand the local structure and composition of the membrane of a living cell from the molecular scale to the scale of the whole membrane.

Involvement of chemokine receptors in breast cancer metastasis.

TL;DR: It is reported that the chemokine receptors CXCR4 and CCR7 are highly expressed in human breast cancer cells, malignant breast tumours and metastases and their respective ligands CXCL12/SDF-1α and CCL21/6Ckine exhibit peak levels of expression in organs representing the first destinations of breast cancer metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho GTPases in cell biology.

TL;DR: Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control a wide variety of signal transduction pathways in all eukaryotic cells and their ability to influence cell polarity, microtubule dynamics, membrane transport pathways and transcription factor activity is probably just as significant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rho, Rac, and Cdc42 GTPases regulate the assembly of multimolecular focal complexes associated with actin stress fibers, lamellipodia, and filopodia

TL;DR: It is reported here that cdc42, another member of the rho family, triggers the formation of a third type of actin-based structure found at the cell periphery, filopodia, in addition to stress fibers, and rho controls the assembly of focal adhesion complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The small GTP-binding protein rac regulates growth factor-induced membrane ruffling.

TL;DR: It is proposed that rac and rho are essential components of signal transduction pathways linking growth factors to the organization of polymerized actin and that growth factors act through rac to stimulate this rho-dependent response.
