    • Cell motility: Turning failure into function 

      Berg, Howard Curtis (Springer Nature, 2013)
      In their search for more favourable environments bacteria choose new directions to explore, usually at random. In a marine bacterium with a single polar flagellum it is now shown that this quest is enhanced by a buckling ...

    • Cell Size Regulation in Bacteria 

      Amir, Ariel (American Physical Society (APS), 2014)
      Various bacteria such as the canonical gram negative Escherichia coli or the well-studied gram positive Bacillus subtilis divide symmetrically after they approximately double their volume. Their size at division is not ...

    • Cell Type of Origin Influences the Molecular and Functional Properties of Mouse Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells 

      Polo, Jose M.; Liu, Susanna; Figueroa, Maria Eugenia; Kulalert, Warakorn; Eminli, Sarah; Tan, Kah Yong; Apostolou, Effie; Stadtfeld, Matthias; Li, Yushan; Shioda, Toshihiro; Natesan, Sridaran; Wagers, Amy Jo; Melnick, Ari; Evans, Todd; Hochedlinger, Konrad (Nature Publishing Group, 2010)
      Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been derived from various somatic cell populations through ectopic expression of defined factors. It remains unclear whether iPSCs generated from different cell types are molecularly ...

    • Cell Type-Specific Manipulation with GFP-Dependent Cre Recombinase 

      Tang, Jonathan C Y; Rudolph, Stephanie; Dhande, Onkar S; Abraira, Victoria E; Choi, Seungwon; Lapan, Sylvain; Drew, Iain R; Drokhlyansky, Eugene; Huberman, Andrew D; Regehr, Wade G; Cepko, Constance L (2016)
      Summary There are many transgenic GFP reporter lines that allow visualization of specific populations of cells. Using such lines for functional studies requires a method that transforms GFP into a molecule that enables ...

    • Cell-Cycle Dependent Expression of a Translocation-Mediated Fusion Oncogene Mediates Checkpoint Adaptation in Rhabdomyosarcoma 

      Kikuchi, Ken; Hettmer, Simone; Aslam, M. Imran; Michalek, Joel E.; Laub, Wolfram; Wilky, Breelyn A.; Loeb, David M.; Rubin, Brian P.; Wagers, Amy J.; Keller, Charles (Public Library of Science, 2014)
      Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most commonly occurring soft-tissue sarcoma in childhood. Most rhabdomyosarcoma falls into one of two biologically distinct subgroups represented by alveolar or embryonal histology. The alveolar ...

    • Cell-to-cell coupling in engineered pairs of rat ventricular cardiomyocytes: relation between Cx43 immunofluorescence and intercellular electrical conductance 

      McCain, Megan; Desplantez, Thomas; Geisse, Nicholas A.; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara; Oberer, Helene; Parker, Kevin Kit; Kleber, Andre (American Physiological Society, 2012)
      Gap junctions are composed of connexin (Cx) proteins, which mediate intercellular communication. Cx43 is the dominant Cx in ventricular myocardium, and Cx45 is present in trace amounts. Cx43 immunosignal has been associated ...

    • Cellular cooperation with shift updating and repulsion 

      Pavlogiannis, Andreas; Chatterjee, Krishnendu; Adlam, Ben; Nowak, Martin A. (Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
      Population structure can facilitate evolution of cooperation. In a structured population, cooperators can form clusters which resist exploitation by defectors. Recently, it was observed that a shift update rule is an ...

    • Cellular Hydraulics Suggests a Poroelastic Cytoplasm Rheology 

      Moeendarbary, E.; Valon, L.; Fritzsche, M.; Harris, A. R.; Moulding, D. A.; Thrasher, A. J.; Stride, E.; Mahadevan, Lakshminarayanan; Charras, G. T. (Nature Publishing Group, 2013-01-07)
      The cytoplasm represents the largest part of the cell by volume and hence its rheology sets the rate at which cellular shape change can occur. Recent experimental evidence suggests that cytoplasmic rheology can be described ...

    • Cellular Interrogation: Exploiting Cell-to-Cell Variability to Discriminate Regulatory Mechanisms in Oscillatory Signalling 

      Estrada, Javier; Andrew, Natalie; Gibson, Daniel; Chang, Frederick; Gnad, Florian; Gunawardena, Jeremy (Public Library of Science, 2016)
      The molecular complexity within a cell may be seen as an evolutionary response to the external complexity of the cell’s environment. This suggests that the external environment may be harnessed to interrogate the cell’s ...
