Regulation and Physiological Significance of the Nuclear Shape in Plants

Chieko Goto, Ikuko Hara-Nishimura, Kentaro Tamura

Summary: The shape of plant nuclei varies among different species, tissues, and cell types, regulated by several nuclear envelope proteins. These proteins not only influence nuclear shape but also participate in nuclear and cellular functions such as maintenance of chromatin structure, gene expression, and plant growth.

Nuclear shapes are geometrically determined by the excess surface area of the nuclear lamina

Richard B. Dickinson, Tanmay P. Lele

Summary: Nuclei have characteristic shapes dependent on cell type, and their distinct shapes are crucial for cell function. This study uses a mathematical model to show that the excess surface area of the nuclear lamina is the key determinant of nuclear shapes. When the nuclear lamina is smooth, the nuclear shape can be purely determined by geometric constraints, independent of the magnitude of cytoskeletal forces.

Mechanical regulation of cell-cycle progression and division

Vivek K. Gupta, Ovijit Chaudhuri

Summary: Cell-cycle progression and division in animal cells are regulated not only by biochemical factors, but also by mechanical interactions with the microenvironment. This review summarizes recent research on how cells interpret physical cues to promote cell-cycle progression and initiate cell division, as well as how dividing cells generate forces to successfully divide. Additionally, it discusses the potential contribution of force generation during division to larger tissue-scale processes involved in development and homeostasis.

Regulation of programmed cell death by Brd4

Jinfeng Hu, Dun Pan, Guo Li, Kunqi Chen, Xiangming Hu

Summary: In recent years, the number of marathon events worldwide has increased, making the half marathon the sports event with the most participants. However, most runners lack knowledge and guidance on injury prevention, leading to an increasing number of injuries associated with the event. Studies have shown that wearing compression shorts can improve hip extension proprioception in football players and wearing graduated compression socks can maintain ankle proprioception after a half-marathon.

Dissecting Physical and Biochemical Effects in Nanotopographical Regulation of Cell Behavior

Kai Wang, Kun Man, Jiafeng Liu, Brian Meckes, Yong Yang

Summary: Regulating cell behavior using nanotopography is widely used, but the complex effects of physical and biochemical cues hinder our understanding, limiting its biomedical applications. To analyze the individual roles, substrates with different physical nanotopography but identical biochemical nanopatterns and vice versa were fabricated. The results showed physical topographies dominantly control cell spreading, YAP localization, proliferation, and differentiation, while biochemical nanopatterns affect hMSC elongation, YAP intracellular localization, and LAMAC expression. Physical nanogratings induce nanoscale curvature of nuclei, attenuating osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Fine-tuning cell behavior is possible by altering the presentation of biochemical cues on substrate surfaces.

Function of Nuclear Pore Complexes in Regulation of Plant Defense Signaling

Xi Wu, Junyou Han, Changkui Guo

Summary: The nucleus is essential for fundamental biological processes in eukaryotes, and is surrounded by the nuclear envelope with nuclear pore complexes (NPC) that regulate the transport of biological macromolecules. The NPC plays a role in genome organization, adaptation, and evolution. In plants, different NPC subcomponents have distinct defensive functions in immune defense, growth and development, hormone signaling, and temperature response. Understanding the components of the NPC is important for breeding high-quality and broad spectrum resistance crops.

Molecular regulation of trophoblast stem cell self-renewal and giant cell differentiation by the Hippo components YAP and LATS1

Trishita Basak, Rupasri Ain

Summary: This research reveals a multi-layered regulation of trophoblast self-renewal and differentiation by the Hippo components. YAP translocates to the nucleus in trophoblast stem cells and limits their proliferation by interacting with the stemness factor CDX2. Trophoblast giant cells differentiation is associated with cytoplasmic retention of YAP and decreased level of core Hippo component LATS1.
