Cell Motility through Blebbing01:16

Cell Motility through Blebbing

2.0K
Blebs are a type of membrane protrusion formed by the internal hydrostatic pressure of the cytoplasm. Blebs are observed in several cell types, including fibroblasts, immune cells, and single-celled organisms like the amoeba. The primary function of blebs is cell locomotion and apoptosis, but they are also found during necrosis and cell division. The life cycle of a bleb comprises an initiation phase followed by the expansion and retraction phases.

Mechanism of Filopodia Formation

2.5K
Filopodia are thin, actin-rich cellular protrusions that play an important role in many fundamental cellular functions. They vary in their occurrence, length, and positioning in different cell types, suggesting their diverse roles.
Their main function is to guide migrating cells during normal tissue morphogenesis or cancer metastasis by recognizing and making initial contacts with the extracellular matrix. However, they can also act as stationary cell anchors or help to establish communication...

Fascicle Arrangement in Skeletal Muscles

2.4K
Fascicles are bundles of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle. Muscle fascicle arrangement is directly associated with the power and range of motion of various muscles. The configuration of these fascicles can vary, leading to different functional outcomes.
The four primary types of muscle based on fascicle arrangement are:

Actin Polymerization and Cell Motility01:13

Actin Polymerization and Cell Motility

5.4K
Actin is a family of globular proteins that are highly abundant in eukaryotic cells. It makes up approximately 1-5% of total cell protein concentration. Actin monomers polymerize to form a complex network of polarized filaments, the actin cytoskeleton, that plays a crucial role in many cellular processes, including cell motility, division, endocytosis, and metastasis of cancer cells.
Actin cytoskeleton dynamics can produce pushing, pulling, and resistance forces that help the cell to migrate....

Structure and Organization of Smooth Muscles

6.1K
Smooth muscle tissue is a type of muscle tissue that can be found lining various vital organs in the human body, including the lungs, blood vessels, digestive tract, and respiratory tract. This type of tissue is responsible for regulating the movements of these organs, playing crucial roles in the functioning of various systems, including the vascular, digestive, respiratory, and urinary systems.

The Role of Actin and Myosin in Non-muscle Cells01:10

The Role of Actin and Myosin in Non-muscle Cells

3.6K
Actin and myosin or actomyosin filaments also play a significant role in cells other than those involved in muscle contraction (which occurs within the sarcomere of muscle cells). The mechanism of non-muscle cell contractile bundles was first observed in Dictyostelium and Acanthamoeba. In non-muscle cells, two bundles are commonly found: stress fibers and actomyosin adherence belts. These contractile bundles are smaller and less organized than the ones found in muscle cells. They  are held...

  • Sistemas de materia activa
  • Ciencias coloidales

Sus antecedentes:

  • Las micropartículas activas sintéticas imitan cada vez más a sus contrapartes biológicas.

  • Utilizando simulaciones de dinámica molecular para el estudio de sistemas flexibles.

Principales resultados:

  • Los flexículos exhiben cambios de forma en las colisiones entre partículas, alterando la dinámica interna de la barra.
  • La deformabilidad inducida por la colisión conduce a un movimiento más lento de los flexículos.
  • Se han observado separaciones de fase inducidas por la motilidad y fenómenos de flujo colectivo espontáneo.
  • Comportamientos emergentes demostrados análogos a la migración celular en tejidos densos.

Conclusiones:

  • La deformabilidad del flexículo es clave para los comportamientos colectivos emergentes en la materia activa.
  • Los hallazgos proporcionan una base para el diseño de partículas activas sensibles, similares a las células.
  • Potencial para controlar la migración de enjambres y los comportamientos autónomos en escalas micro/coloidales.
