Rab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملExperimental study of the shape and motion of flattened drops in a Hele-Shaw Cell
> The motion and shape of a flattened drop and bubble through another continuous liquid phase (conveying phase) are investigated experimentally, using a narrow gap HeleShaw cell. Seven different liquid-liqu...
متن کاملEvaluation of Diffusion Anisotropy and Diffusion Shape in Grading of Glial Tumors
Background: The most common primary tumors of brain are gliomas. Grading of tumor is vital for designing proper treatment plans. The gold standard choice to determine the grade of glial tumor is biopsy which is an invasive method.Objective: In this study, we try to investigate the role of fractional anisotropy (diffusion anisotropy) and linear anisotropy ...
متن کاملThe Theory of Diffusion in Cell Models
The differential equations which describe the simultaneous diffusion of water and a salt in a cell model have been formulated and solved. The equations have been derived from the general laws which describe diffusion processes, thereby furnishing a physical interpretation for the constants which enter into the theory. The theoretical time curves for the two diffusing substances are in good agre...
متن کاملCell Polarization: It's All about Being in Shape
In eukaryotic cells microtubules and actin filaments help to generate the spatial organization of the cytoplasm that is required for polarity and shape. Recent work in fission yeast demonstrates that changing cell shape in turn reorganizes the cytoskeleton and cell polarization machinery.
