A microvillus based approach to model cell rolling
… Bond kinetics have been used to define microvillus attachment probability which is in turn used to find out the net force on the cell. Deformability is also taken into account by an empirical relation which allows shear modulation of cell-surface contact area. The model showed excellent …

Modeling mammary epithelial cell polarization and the role of podocalyxin in breast tumor progression
… non-adhesive membrane domains and induced microvillus formation that was dependent on its extracellular domain and Rho GTPase-regulated actin polymerization. Podocalyxin also recruited its intracellular binding partners NHERF-1 and ezrin via its cytoplasmic tail. Strikingly, the formation …

Mechanisms of Regulation of Proximal Tubule Sodium Transporters in Obesity-Induced Hypertension
… associated with its active pool located in the microvillus region. Together, these results suggest that hypertension in obese rats is characterized by the impaired pressure-natriuresis and diuresis that can be explained by the increased activity of proximal tubule sodium transporters.</p> …

Commercial diets do not affect the colonic ultrastructure of normal dogs
… colonic ultrastructure, cell height, cell area, microvillus height, number of microvilli/apex width and basement membrane width were measured. Ten cells per animal were evaluated. Six dogs were assigned to the control group and fed the control diet for the duration of the study. Six dogs were fed …

Ultrastructure and function of the gastrointestinal tract in marine herbivorous fishes
… thickness of mucus, cell types present and microvillus length indicated that morphology of the anterior GIT was consistent with enzyme secretion and lipid absorption, while the posterior GIT was consistent with protein absorption. Secretory cells lined the stomach, exocrine cells with long …

Modeling human Usher syndrome during Drosophila melanogaster development
Human Usher syndrome is a severe and congenital form of syndromic deafness that affects 1 person in 25,000 people in the world population. Normally the stereocilia, microvillar protrusions of the apical membrane of inner ear hair cells, are organized into coherent bundles. This precise organization …
