Cells in the developing heart must find the perfect match, much like a game of microscopic speed dating. Using filopodia—tiny ...

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing ...

Developing heart cells have tentacle-like protrusions called filopodia, which probe and grab onto potential partners. Saunders' previous work found that proteins create waves that pull mismatched ...

In the process of heart development, cells move around and interact with one another to establish their positions, with ...

The baculovirus ARIF-1 protein induces filopodia-like and invadosome-like structures in Bombyx mori hemocytes to breach the basal lamina surrounding host tissues, thus facilitating viral transmission.

The infection altered the morphology of the cells, inducing the formation of filopodia and the loss of stress fibers. Quantitative analysis of the filopodia revealed an increase in their number and ...

In summary, our results demonstrate a role of endothelial Aquaporins in promoting water influx to increase endothelial tip cell volume and cytoplasmic hydrostatic pressure, as well as accelerate actin ...

This important study characterizes and validates a new activity marker - fast labelling of engram neurons (FLEN) - which is transiently active and driven by cFos, allowing the monitoring of intrinsic ...
