Myosin IIA drives neurite retraction.
Neuritic extension is the resultant of two vectorial processes: outgrowth and retraction. Whereas myosin IIB is required for neurite outgrowth, retraction is driven by a motor whose identity has remained unknown until now. Preformed neurites in mouse Neuro-2A neuroblastoma cells undergo immediate retraction when exposed to isoform-specific antisense oligonucleotides that suppress myosin IIB exp...
متن کاملPolarized cortical tension drives zebrafish epiboly movements.
The principles underlying the biomechanics of morphogenesis are largely unknown. Epiboly is an essential embryonic event in which three tissues coordinate to direct the expansion of the blastoderm. How and where forces are generated during epiboly, and how these are globally coupled remains elusive. Here we developed a method, hydrodynamic regression (HR), to infer 3D pressure fields, mechanica...
متن کاملMyosin drives autophagy in a pathway linking Atg1 to Atg9.
Autophagy is a cellular process in which specialized autodegradative vesicles, the autophagosomes, are formed. Much progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanism controlling autophagy, particularly the role of the Atg genes. In this issue, Tang et al identify a signalling pathway linking two main regulators, the Atg1 kinase—essential for the induction of the autophagosome—and ...
متن کاملMyosin Drives Retrograde F-Actin Flow in Neuronal Growth Cones
Actin filaments assembled at the leading edge of neuronal growth cones are centripetally transported via retrograde F-actin flow, a process fundamental to growth cone guidance and other forms of directed cell motility. Here we investigated the role of myosins in retrograde flow, using two distinct modes of myosin inhibition: microinjection of NEM inactivated myosin S1 fragments, or treatment wi...
متن کاملIn-Vivo Implantable Sensor System for Measuring Bladder Wall Movements
The design and implementation of a medical implantable device for bladder monitoring is presented. A network of accelerometers is to be implanted in-between the outside bladder muscle and the mucous membrane. A pressure sensor is also implanted in this submucosal layer to obtain intraluminal pressure readings. The sensor system is powered by an implanted battery and provides a wireless communic...
