    • Rhoa is dispensable for skin development, but crucial for contraction and directed migration of keratinocytes 

      Jackson, B.; Peyrollier, K.; Pedersen, E.; Basse, A.; Karlsson, R.; Wang, Z.; Lefever, T.; Ochsenbein, A. M.; Schmidt, G.; Aktories, K.; Stanley, A.; Quondamatteo, F.; Ladwein, M.; Rottner, K.; van Hengel, J.; Brakebusch, C. (American Society for Cell Biology (ASCB), 2011-01-05)
      RhoA is a small guanosine-5'-triphosphatase (GTPase) suggested to be essential for cytokinesis, stress fiber formation, and epithelial cell-cell contacts. In skin, loss of RhoA was suggested to underlie pemphigus skin ...

    • Single vesicle imaging indicates distinct modes of rapid membrane retrieval during nerve growth 

      Hines, Jacob H; Henle, Steven J; Carlstrom, Lucas P; Abu-Rub, Mohammad; Henley, John R (Springer Nature, 2012-01-01)
      Background: During nerve growth, cytoplasmic vesicles add new membrane preferentially to the growth cone located at the distal tip of extending axons. Growth cone membrane is also retrieved locally, and asymmetric retrieval ...
