Eukaryotic chemotaxis at a glance.
Introduction Chemotaxis is a fundamental process in which cells migrate directionally when they are exposed to external chemical gradients. It is exhibited by a wide variety of cell types and involves distinct strategies that depend on the environmental conditions. For example, the migration of fibroblasts or keratinocytes within tissues is relatively slow as it relies on strong adhesion forces...
متن کاملEukaryotic ribosome biogenesis at a glance.
Ribosomes play a pivotal role in the molecular life of every cell. Moreover, synthesis of ribosomes is one of the most energetically demanding of all cellular processes. In eukaryotic cells, ribosome biogenesis requires the coordinated activity of all three RNA polymerases and the orchestrated work of many (>200) transiently associated ribosome assembly factors. The biogenesis of ribosomes is a...
متن کاملPeptide and Protein Delivery at a Glance
Peptide and protein drugs have found an important position in therapeutics. Recent advances in pharmaceutical biotechnology have led to an increase in the number of protein products in the market. As these therapeutic proteins and peptides are made available, it will be essential to formulate these drugs into safe and effective delivery systems. The twenty different naturally occurring amin...
متن کاملA Glance at Psychophysics Software Programs
Visual stimulation with precise control of stimulus has transformed the field of psychophysics since the introduction of personal computers. Luminance and chromatic features of stimulus, timing, and position of the stimulus are the main features that could be defined using programs written specifically for psychophysical experiments. In this manuscript, software used for the psychophysical expe...
متن کاملCELL SCIENCE AT A GLANCE The Exocyst at a Glance
The exocyst is an octameric protein complex that is implicated in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane prior to SNARE-mediated fusion. Spatial and temporal control of exocytosis through the exocyst has a crucial role in a number of physiological processes, such as morphogenesis, cell cycle progression, primary ciliogenesis, cell migration and tumor invasion. In this Cell S...
