Abstract

Antibodies to galactocerebroside (GalC) cause patching of this surface glycolipid over internal domains of myelin basic protein (MBP), which are demarcated by a network of microtubules. The patching occurs whether or not second antibody is present, but the process is accelerated by the presence of second antibody. GalC patching results in disruption of microtubules in the lacy networks in oligodendroglial membrane sheets and in the eventual fusion of MBP domains, similar to the effects of colchicine (Dyer and Benjamins, 1989). Antibodies to GalC also disrupt F-actin in the lacy networks. Since colchicine does not alter the distribution of F-actin, anti-GalC is causing F-actin redistribution by a mechanism other than microtubule depolymerization. Extended exposure to anti-GalC results in coalescence of surface GalC patches concomitant with fusion of internal MBP domains. When anti-GalC is applied to induce GalC patching in cells previously treated with cytoskeletal inhibitors, patching is altered. After colchicine treatment, GalC surface staining is granular; i.e., patching is totally disorganized. Following cytochalasin B treatment, most membrane sheets display a few very large patches rather than the normal multiple, small pat...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
