Using deep learning-based image restoration, we achieved high-resolution 4D imaging with minimal photodamage, revealing distinct localization and suggesting Lifeact-RFP-labeled actin microfilaments play a role in initiating cell plate formation. Phra...
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a standard model system for studying cell motility and formation of biological patterns. D. discoideum cells form protrusions and migrate via cytoskeletal reorganization driven by coordinated waves of act...
Microridges are evolutionarily conserved actin-rich protrusions present on the apical surface of squamous epithelial cells. In zebrafish epidermal cells, microridges form self-evolving patterns due to the underlying actomyosin network dynamics. Howev...

BACKGROUND: Actin stress fibers are abundant in cultured cells, but little is known about them . In podocytes, much evidence suggests that mechanobiologic mechanisms underlie podocyte shape and adhesion in health and in injury, with structural change...
In an nanotoxicity system, cell-nanoparticle (NP) interaction leads to the surface adsorption, uptake, and changes into nuclei/cell phenotype and chemistry, as an indicator of oxidative stress, genotoxicity, and carcinogenicity. Different types of n...
Accurate prediction of drug- and chemical-induced hepatotoxicity remains to be a problem for pharmaceutical companies as well as other industries and regulators. The goal of the current study was to develop an in vitro/in silico method for the rapid ...
Cell protrusion is morphodynamically heterogeneous at the subcellular level. However, the mechanism of cell protrusion has been understood based on the ensemble average of actin regulator dynamics. Here, we establish a computational framework called ...
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and proliferation is central to neointima formation in vein graft failure following coronary artery bypass. However, there are currently no pharmacological interventions that prevent vein graft failure thr...

Collective cell migration is crucial for a variety of pathophysiological processes including embryonic development, wound healing, carcinoma invasion, and sprouting angiogenesis. The behavior of leading and following cells during migration is highly ...

Cell-surface adhesion receptors mediate interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM) to control many fundamental aspects of cell behavior, including cell migration, survival, and proliferation. Integrin adhesion receptors recruit structural and s...
