Flow Cytometry01:23

Flow Cytometry

17.5K
The development of flow cytometry techniques began in 1934 with initial attempts by Andrew Moldavan, a bacteriologist who counted the cells in a flowing capillary system. Moldavan pumped cells through a capillary tube focused under a microscope for visualization. The invention of photometry allowed the measurement of differentially-stained cells, and Louis Kamentsky developed the first multiparameter flow cytometer in 1965 to identify and count the cancer cells in cervical tissue specimens.

Distribution of Cytoplasmic Content

4.9K
Cytokinesis segregates a cell’s chromosomes and organelles into its daughter cells. Organelles divide and grow prior to cell division but cannot be synthesized de novo; therefore, cells must receive at least one copy of each organelle to survive. Currently, many of the details of how the organelles are distributed are not yet fully elucidated.
Distribution of cytoplasmic determinants
The cytoplasm contains various organelles, as well as salts, proteins, and water. The distribution of...

Cytoplasm

95.2K
The cytoplasm consists of organelles and a framework of protein scaffolds called the cytoskeleton suspended in an aqueous solution, the cytosol. The cytosol is a rich broth of water, ions, salts, and various organic molecules.
Protein Folding and Misfolding
The cytoplasm is the location for several cellular processes, including protein synthesis and folding. The aqueous nature of the cytosol promotes protein folding such that the hydrophobic amino acid side chains are buried in the protein...

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Mycology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Cytoplasmic streaming is a common cellular process with poorly understood functions.
  • The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa exhibits active cytoplasmic streaming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the biological function of cytoplasmic streaming in Neurospora crassa.
  • To determine if cytoplasmic streaming influences nuclear behavior and gene expression.

Main Methods:

  • Live-cell imaging of Neurospora crassa.
  • Analysis of nuclear localization and dynamics.
  • Genetic analysis of compartment-specific gene expression.

Main Results:

  • Cytoplasmic streaming actively generates distinct subcellular compartments.
  • Nuclei become immobilized within these streaming-induced compartments.
  • Evidence suggests these compartments can support compartment-specific nuclear differentiation and gene expression.

Conclusions:

  • Cytoplasmic streaming is essential for creating functional subcellular compartments in Neurospora crassa.
  • Nuclear compartmentalization driven by streaming may regulate gene expression programs.
  • This mechanism offers new insights into cellular organization and differentiation in fungi.
