Extracellular DNA-Based Trapping of Heavy Metals by Root Border Cells
… of human and environmental health. Plant root border cells comprise a dynamic barrier that mediates harmful effects to the plant by protecting vulnerable root tips from injury and infection and thereby facilitating plant growth and development. Recent studies have revealed that, as in animals, …

Analysis of the role of Drosophila IMP in actin mRNA localization and cell migration
… RNA binding protein involved in vertebrate cell migration and cancer metastasis. Drosophila IMP is required for border cell migration and follicle cell morphogenesis during oogenesis. Later on, imp null embryos do not complete embryogenesis and fail to undergo dorsal closure. One of the …

The function of Drosophila Integrin-Dim7-Elmo-Mbc→Rac signaling pathway in the muscle attachment formation and maintenance
The Engulfment and Cell Motility (Elmo)-(Myoblast city) Mbc→Rac signaling pathway is evolutionarily conserved from C. elegans to vertebrates and is essential for many developmental processes, including phagocytosis and cell migration. Flies that possess mutations in the elmo locus are lethal and …

The Roles of the Drosophila Protein Tribbles in Oogenesis and Insulin Signaling Pathway
… of kinase proteins that play diverse roles in cell signaling and energy homeostasis. In addition to the central Serine/Threonine kinase domain, members of the Tribbles gene family (Trib) shares C terminal mitogen activated protein kinase kinase MEK1 and E3 ubiquitin ligase COP1 binding motifs, …

Cursed complexity. Computational properties of subcortical neuronal microcircuitry in sensorimotor control
… of the mossy fiber pathways. Both the spinal border cell neurons that ascend the ventral spinocerebellar tract with sensorimotor information related to locomotion and the neurons of the cuneate nucleus that process tactile information are studied using behavioral stimulation, either in vivo …

Epidermal growth factor receptor signalling regulates ommatidial rotation during Drosophila eye development
Cell motility is essential for many aspects of normal animal development. However, little is known about how cell motility and associated changes in cell shape are regulated in the context of epithelial tissue patterning. This study investigates the cell motility of developing ommatidia, a process …

Analysis of mitotic and post-mitotic functions of Spindly in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>
… of cytoskeleton remodelling in post-mitotic cells. This research project aims to elucidate the requirement for Drosophila Spindly in both scenarios, mitosis and interphase. To address this question, loss- and gain-of-function experiments were performed to screen the effects of both …

Analysing the relationship between immune infiltration and tissue architecture in high grade serous ovarian cancer
… in the SEARCH cohort (n=332); CD8+ cytotoxic T-cells, CD45RO+ memory T-cells and CD68+ macrophages. The stromal infiltration of CD68+ (HR = 0.44, p = 3×10−4 ) and CD45RO+ (HR = 0.76, p = 7×10−4 ) cells was positively associated with survival and the positive prognostic value of CD8 + cells …
