Acute myocardial infarction activates distinct inflammation and proliferation pathways in circulating monocytes, prior to recruitment, and identified through conserved transcriptional responses in mice and humans
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Aims Monocytes play critical roles in tissue injury and repair following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Specifically targeting inflammatory monocytes in experimental models leads to reduced infarct size and improved ... -
On the origins of the mitotic shift in proliferating cell layers
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: During plant and animal development, monolayer cell sheets display a stereotyped distribution of polygonal cell shapes. In interphase cells these shapes range from quadrilaterals to decagons, with a robust ... -
RNA Stimulates Aurora B Kinase Activity during Mitosis
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Accurate chromosome segregation is essential for cell viability. The mitotic spindle is crucial for chromosome segregation, but much remains unknown about factors that regulate spindle assembly. Recent work implicates RNA ... -
Universal rule for the symmetric division of plant cells
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011)The division of eukaryotic cells involves the assembly of complex cytoskeletal structures to exert the forces required for chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. In plants, empirical evidence suggests that tensional forces ... -
vasa and piwi are required for mitotic integrity in early embryogenesis in the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Studies in vertebrate and invertebrate model organisms on the molecular basis of primordial germ cell (PGC) specification have revealed that metazoans can specify their germ line either early in development by maternally ...
