  2. 1. From Cell Shape to Body Shape: Epithelial Morphogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Shai Mulinari; Sociologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Odd-skipped; morphogenesis; Hedgehog; segment boundaries; segmental grooves; Actin; Drosophila; DRhoGEF2; Myosin; Diaphanous; Rho GTPase; cytoskeleton; Rho1;

    Abstract : Embryonic development is associated with extensive rearrangements of tissues. The driving force for these rearrangements is generated by a dynamic reorganization of the Actin cytoskeleton of individual cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. Tropomyosin in Normal and Malignant Cells and the Action of Picropodophyllin on the Microfilament and Microtubule Systems

    Author : Li-Sophie Zhao Rathje; Uno Lindberg; Roger Karlsson; J. Victor Small; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tropomyosin; Actin; Picropodophyllin; Tubulin; Cell motility; Cancer; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; cellbiologi; Cellbiology;

    Abstract : Cell motility is a fundamental process, enabling cells to migrate, for instance during embryogenesis, tissue repair and defense. Force is generated by two protein systems, which also participate in cell proliferation, control macromolecular and organelle distribution and determine the fine structure of the cell interior.

  6. 4. Signaling capacity of ß2-integrins in relations to neutrophil motility

    Author : Ragnhild Löfgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Abstract : The neutrophil granulocyte is one of the most mobile cell types in the human body and represents the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Adhesion and chemotactic receptors on the cell surface work together through modulations of the cytoskeleton and thereby cause the cell to move. READ MORE

  7. 5. The atypical Rho GTPase RhoD and its role in cellular dynamics

    Author : Magdalena Blom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Despite its discovery 20 years ago, the accumulated knowledge about the Rho member RhoD is scarce. Instead, the vast majority of studies concerning Rho GTPases has focused on the three classical members RhoA, Cdc42 and Rac1. In contrast, RhoD is considered an atypical Rho GTPase, with an aberrant GTP/GDP cycling and an unknown regulation. READ MORE
