Passive and active ion permeation through lipid bilayers investigated by second harmonic water imaging

Maksim Eremchev

Lipid membranes are complex and dynamic systems which are known to mediate signaling processes between cells and their environment. To do this multiple ion channels and pumps are involved in controlling the in- and out-flux of various ions (K+, Na+, Mg2+, ...

Signal-to-signal neural networks for improved spike estimation from calcium imaging data

Mathew Magimai Doss, Jilt Sebastian

Information processing by a population of neurons is studied using two-photon calcium imaging techniques. A neuronal spike results in an increased intracellular calcium concentration. Fluorescent calcium indicators change their brightness upon a change in ...

Extent of N-terminus exposure of monomeric alpha-synuclein determines its aggregation propensity

Hilal Lashuel, Anass Chiki

As an intrinsically disordered protein, monomeric alpha-synuclein (aSyn) occupies a large conformational space. Certain conformations lead to aggregation prone and non-aggregation prone intermediates, but identifying these within the dynamic ensemble of mo ...

Biophysically detailed mathematical models of multiscale cardiac active mechanics

Alfio Quarteroni, Francesco Regazzoni

Author summary Computer-based numerical simulations of the heart are increasingly assuming a recognized role in the context of computational medicine and cardiology. They are based on mathematical models describing the different physical phenomena occurrin ...

Modeling metabolic and signaling pathways in cancer cells

Maria Masid Barcon

Cancer is a leading cause of death in the world, and the mechanisms that underlie this disease are still not completely understood. As cancer develops and progresses, cells undergo a diversity of mutations that sustain their rapid proliferation and the eva ...

What are you synching about? Emerging complexity of Notch signaling in the segmentation clock

Andrew Charles Oates, Olivier François Venzin

The Segmentation clock is a population of cellular genetic oscillators, located in the posterior of the elongating vertebrate embryo, that governs the rhythmic and sequential segmentation of the body axis into somites. Somites are blocks of cells that give ...

Mechanics and co-evolution of allosteric materials and proteins

Riccardo Ravasio

The regulation of several processes inside and outside the cell depends on the action of a particular class of enzymes, called allosteric. In allosteric macromolecules, binding a ligand at one site affects the binding activity at a distal functional site, ...

Augmented mitochondrial energy metabolism is an early response to chronic glucose stress in human pancreatic beta cells

Loïc Dayon, Andreas Wiederkehr, Sofia Moco, Isabelle Chareyron

Aims/hypothesis In islets from individuals with type 2 diabetes and in islets exposed to chronic elevated glucose, mitochondrial energy metabolism is impaired. Here, we studied early metabolic changes and mitochondrial adaptations in human beta cells durin ...

Computational design of G Protein-Coupled Receptor allosteric signal transductions

Patrick Daniel Barth, Dániel Kéri

Membrane receptors sense and transduce extracellular stimuli into intracellular signaling responses but the molecular underpinnings remain poorly understood. We report a computational approach for designing protein allosteric signaling functions. By combin ...

Association of Both Inhibitory and Stimulatory G alpha Subunits Implies Adenylyl Cyclase 5 Deactivation

Ursula Röthlisberger, Siri Camee van Keulen, Daniele Narzi

Adenylyl cyclase (AC) generates cyclic AMP required for a variety of cellular functions, and its regulation plays a major role in cellular signal transduction in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. All membrane-bound AC isoforms in eukaryotes can be activated by s ...
