	Ca2+-dependent Signal Transduction James D. Johnson, Michael J. Bround, Tobias Albrecht In biology, signal transduction is the transmission of information into and within the cell. Signal transduction events within a cell are often initiated from an extracellular cue. Current knowledge suggests that there are far fewer intracellular sec… Publication Date: 11/01/2014 Read More
	Vesicular Transport in the Secretory and Endocytic Pathways Anne Muesch The concept of vesicular traffic as a means of protein transport in and out of cells and between membrane compartments has been established since the 1960s. Its basic principles are beautifully simple, yet the details of protein transport are complex… Publication Date: 11/01/2014 Read More
	Intermediate Filaments Normand Marceau, Anne Loranger, Stephane Gilbert Intermediate filaments (IFs), in concert with microfilaments (MFs) and microtubules (MTs), form the cytoskeleton, and each of these fibrillar networks exhibits rather unique structural and functional characteristics. Intermediate filaments were disco… Publication Date: 06/01/2014 Read More
	Protein Translation Eric Jan Protein synthesis is a fundamental aspect of gene expression across kingdoms. The regulation of translation is important for many biological processes including cell fate determination, development, and growth and is especially crucial to maintain ce… Publication Date: 06/01/2014 Read More
	The Actin Cytoskeleton and the Regulation of Cell Migration Jonathan M. Lee The mammalian cytoskeleton is an internal framework of actin, tubulin, and intermediate filament proteins. Proteins of these three classes assemble non-covalently into filamentous polymers that support the structural integrity of the relatively fragi… Publication Date: 06/01/2013 Read More
	Apoptosis Ning Yang, Ing Swie Goping Multi-cellular organisms eliminate individual cells through a self-destruct process known as apoptosis. Apoptosis is critical for proper development and maintenance of tissue homeostasis. The importance of this process is highlighted by the fact that… Publication Date: 04/01/2013 Read More
	Phagocytosis Urja Naik, Rene E. Harrison Phagocytosis is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that serves as the first line of host defense in multicellular organisms. The traditional definition of phagocytosis involves the engulfment and degradation of large solid particles (>0.5 μm), … Publication Date: 04/01/2013 Read More
	Epithelial Polarity Gerard Apodaca, Luciana Gallo Epithelial cells exhibit an apical-basolateral axis of polarity that is generated during embryogenesis, is maintained throughout adult life in the face of constant cell regeneration, and is perturbed in several epithelial-associated diseases. We exam… Publication Date: 03/01/2013 Read More
	Membrane Nanodomains John R. Silvius Many membranes in eukaryotic cells are inhomogeneous structures in which various membrane components are nonrandomly distributed, forming diverse types of ‘domains.’ Some membrane domains have long been well known, because they are sufficiently large… Publication Date: 02/01/2013 Read More
