Arp2/3 complex

Listeria monocytogenes Introduction Listeria monocytogenes, a motile, gram-positive rod, is an opportunistic food-borne pathogen capable of causing listeriosis in humans. Listeriosis includes manifestations of septicemia, meningitis, pneumonia, and encephalitis. L. monocytogenes is also implicated in miscarriages, stillbirth, and premature birth for pregnant women. L. monocytogenes is a tough bacterium resistant to freezing, drying, and heat; most strains have been shown to be pathogenic. It

activates Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) or Scar. Previous studies identified cancer cell that use Rab-coupling to control cell motility by regulating B-intgrins trafficking (Nader et al., 2016). WASP recruits Actin related protein 2 and 3 (Arp2/3) complex to the cell membrane and activates it

Abstract: The formation of multinucleated muscle cells through cell-cell fusion is a conserved process from fruit flies to humans. Numerous studies have shown the importance of Arp2/3, its regulators, and branched actin for the formation of an actin structure, the F-actin focus, at the fusion site. This F-actin focus forms the core of an invasive podosome-like structure that is required for myoblast fusion. In this study, we find that the formin Diaphanous (Dia), which nucleates and facilitates

Black mirror episode on photographic memory-- obsession Memory repression-- survival technique But memory creates our self identity/how our society advances. Can we control our memory? Memory repression is more likely to occur in the adolescent mind due to underdevelopment of the brain. Many children experience a sense of shame when faced with sexual abuse. They may feel as if their innocence had been taken away or that it is their fault-- or they may have even been threatened to stay silent by
