Cell Biology: Up Against the Wall
Lignin is deposited in precise patterns in some cell types. Two recent papers provide insights into how this is achieved in the Casparian strip of the root endodermis where a discrete band of lignin is crucial to regulating the passage of water and solutes.
متن کاملCell Biology: Actin Keeps Endocytosis on a Short Leash
High-resolution structural analysis of branched actin networks at the sites of clathrin-mediated endocytosis sheds light on the role of actin in endocytosis and mechanisms controlling actin assembly.
متن کاملRecent advances in chromaffin cell biology: summing up the last International Symposium on Chromaffin Cell Biology.
The International Symposium on Chromaffin Cell Biology (ISCCB) brings together a group of approximately 150 scientists from around the world who meet every 2 years to discuss recent advances in our understanding of biogenesis and motion of secretory vesicles, synthesis, storage and release of secreted products (catecholamines, chromogranins, ATP), and mechanisms involving the excitation-secreti...
متن کاملActin up for Hippo.
The Hippo (Hpo) signalling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved pathway controlling tissue growth, but its upstream inputs remain poorly understood. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Sansores-Garcia et al (2011) report that modulation of filamentous (F)-actin accumulation controls Hpo pathway activity. In a related study, GarciaFernandez et al (2011) confirm this finding, and also show that ...
متن کاملCell Biology: A Tense but Good Day for Actin at Cell–Cell Junctions
Cells have evolved an elegant tuning mechanism to maintain tissue integrity, in which increasing mechanical tension stimulates actin assembly at cell-cell junctions. The mechanosensitive junctional protein α-catenin acts through vinculin and Ena/VASP proteins to reinforce the cell against mechanical stress.
