Disruption of the microtubule network alters cellulose deposition and causes major changes in pectin distribution in the cell wall of the green alga,penium margaritaceum
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-11-27)Application of the dintroaniline compound, oryzalin, which inhibits microtubule formation, to the unicellular green alga Penium margaritaceum caused major perturbations to its cell morphology, such as swelling at the wall ... -
Life at the mesoscale: the self-organised cytoplasm and nucleoplasm
(Springer Nature, 2015-02-25)The cell contains highly dynamic structures exploiting physical principles of self-organisation at the mesoscale (100 nm to 10 mu m). Examples include non-membrane bound cytoplasmic bodies, cytoskeleton-based motor networks ... -
Marine guanidine alkaloids crambescidins inhibit tumor growth and activate intrinsic apoptotic signaling inducing tumor regression in a colorectal carcinoma zebrafish xenograft model
(Impact Journals, LLC, 2016-11-04)The marine environment constitutes an extraordinary resource for the discovery of new therapeutic agents. In the present manuscript we studied the effect of 3 different sponge derived guanidine alkaloids, crambescidine ... -
Simulation of the contractile response of cells on an array of micro-posts
(The Royal Society, 2009-08-03)A bio-chemo-mechanical model has been used to predict the contractile responses of smooth cells on a bed of micro-posts. Predictions obtained for smooth muscle cells reveal that, by converging onto a single set of parameters, ...
