Alpha Yap: Cadherins hold it all together
H omotypic adhesion between surface receptors called cadherins is essential to the integrity of epithelial sheets. But cadherins aren't just passive anchors that allow cells to stick together. Instead, by coupling to the actin cytoskeleton, they can generate tension to affect the structure and resiliency of individual cells and tissues. How are contractile forces generated at cadherin junctions...
متن کاملDo quantum effects hold together DNA condensates?
The classical electrostatic interaction between DNA molecules in water in the presence of counterions is reconsidered and we propose it is governed by a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Quantum fluctuations are then studied and shown to lead to a vacuum interaction that is numerically computed for several configurations of many DNA strands and found to be strongly many-body. This Casimir va...

متن کاملHow Properties Hold Together in Substances
A main aim of chemical research is to understand how the characteristic properties of specific chemical substances relate to the composition and to the structure of those materials. Each year, thousands of chemical publications report how use of complex techniques and sophisticated theories contribute to that objective. All this work assumes a broad consensus regarding basic aspects of chemistr...
متن کاملMycobacterial Biofilms: A Greasy Way to Hold It Together
Microorganisms growing on surfaces can form biofilms under certain conditions. In this issue of Cell, Ojha et al. (2005) investigate biofilm formation in mycobacteria. They identify new cell-wall components that are required for the formation of architecturally complex mature biofilms in these bacteria and the surprising involvement of a chaperone protein in this process.
