Organelle-specific targeting of polymersomes into the cell nucleus

Zekiye Pelin Güven

Organelle-specific nanocarriers (NCs) are highly sought after for delivering therapeutic agents into the cell nucleus. This necessitates nucleocytoplasmic transport (NCT) to bypass nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). However, little is known as to how comparabl ...

Influenza A viruses use multivalent sialic acid clusters for cell binding and receptor activation

Suliana Manley, Christian Sieben

Influenza A virus (IAV) binds its host cell using the major viral surface protein hemagglutinin (HA). HA recognizes sialic acid, a plasma membrane glycan that functions as the specific primary attachment factor (AF). Since sialic acid alone cannot fulfill ...

Interaction of Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes with Photosynthetic Microbes

Alessandra Antonucci

The discovery of carbon-based nanomaterials has impacted a variety of research areas in ways that could not be imagined three decades ago. Their unique combination of structural, optical, and electronic properties has made these nano-sized materials partic ...

Metabolic implications of organelle-mitochondria communication

Carlos Canto Alvarez

Cellular organelles are not static but show dynamism-a property that is likely relevant for their function. In addition, they interact with other organelles in a highly dynamic manner. In this review, we analyze the proteins involved in the interaction bet ...

Cellular ultrastructure in benthic foraminifera: general observations and focus on kleptoplasts.

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Research of the past few decades has revealed a great variability of metabolisms (e.g. adaptation to different microhabitats, feeding strategies, symbiosis, survival to stressful conditions) among benthic foraminiferal species. This metabolic variety is re ...

An overview of cellular ultrastructure in benthic foraminifera: New observations of rotalid species in the context of existing literature

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

We report systematic transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations of the cellular ultrastructure of selected, small rotalid benthic foraminifera. Nine species from different environments (intertidal mudflat, fjord, and basin) were investigated: Ammo ...

Computational support for a scaffolding mechanism of centriole assembly

Pierre Gönczy, Paul Guichard, Virginie Hamel

Centrioles are essential for forming cilia, flagella and centrosomes. Successful centriole assembly requires proteins of the SAS-6 family, which can form oligomeric ring structures with ninefold symmetry in vitro. While important progress has been made in ...

Alpha-Synuclein as a Mediator in the Interplay between Aging and Parkinson's Disease

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Wojciech Janusz Bobela

Accumulation and misfolding of the alpha-synuclein protein are core mechanisms in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. While the normal function of alpha-synuclein is mainly related to the control of vesicular neurotransmission, its pathogenic effects ...

Purification of centrosomes from mammalian cell lines

Paul Guichard

Centrosomes act as the main microtubule-organizing centre of animal cells and play critical roles in the cell, such as mitotic spindle organization, cell polarity, and motility. They are composed of two barrel-shaped structures, the centrioles, surrounded ...
