Mapping of real-time morphological changes in the neuronal cytoskeleton with label-free wide-field second-harmonic imaging: a case study of nocodazole

Pascal Jourdain, Sylvie Roke, Carlos Alberto Macias Romero, Marie Eve Pascale Didier, Claire Jacqueline Léa Teulon

We demonstrate the use of wide-field high-throughput second-harmonic (SH) microscopy for investigating cytoskeletal morphological changes on the single-cell level. The method allows for real-time, in vitro, label-free measurements of cytoskeletal changes t ...

Stabilization of overlapping biofilaments by passive crosslinkers

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

The formation, maintenance and reorganization of the cytoskeletal filament network is essential for a number of cellular processes. While the crucial role played by active forces generated by motor proteins has been studied extensively, only recently the i ...

Advances in High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy

Adrian Pascal Nievergelt

High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) is a scanning probe technique capable of recording processes at the nanometre scale in real time. By sequentially increasing the speed of individual microscope components, images of surfaces can be recorded at up ...

Integrative approach to analyze the proximal region of the Trichonympha agilis centriole

Veronika Nemcíková Villímová

The centrosome, the major microtubule organizing center in animal cells, is composed of two orthogonally arranged centrioles and surrounding pericentriolar material. Centrioles are evolutionary conserved organelles characterized by a nine-fold symmetry of ...

Probing the distribution of cortical components, including PtdIns(4,5)P2, during asymmetric division of C. elegans embryos

Melina Jasmin Scholze

Asymmetric cell division is crucial for embryonic development and stem cell lineages. In the one-cell C. elegans embryo, a contractile cortical actomyosin network contributes to asymmetric division by segregating PAR proteins to discrete cortical domains. ...

Zika virus causes supernumerary foci with centriolar proteins and impaired spindle positioning

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Benita Wolf

Zika virus (ZIKV) causes congenital microcephaly. Although ZIKV can impair cell cycle progression and provoke apoptosis, which probably contributes to disease aetiology through depletion of neural progenitor cells, additional cellular mechanisms may be imp ...

Centriole Biogenesis: From Identifying the Characters to Understanding the Plot

Pierre Gönczy, Niccolo Banterle

The centriole is a beautiful microtubule-based organelle that is critical for the proper execution of many fundamental cellular processes, including polarity, motility, and division. Centriole biogenesis, the making of this miniature architectural wonder, ...

Cell-free reconstitution reveals centriole cartwheel assembly mechanisms

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Pierre Gönczy, Mircea Ioan Iacovache, Virginie Hamel, Isabelle Fluckiger, Paul Guichard, Veronika Nemcíková Villímová, Niccolo Banterle

How cellular organelles assemble is a fundamental question in biology. The centriole organelle organizes around a nine-foldsymmetrical cartwheel structure typically 100 nm high comprising a stack of rings that each accommodates nine homodimers of SAS-6 pro ...

Computer simulations reveal mechanisms that organize nuclear dynein forces to separate centrosomes

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone

Centrosome separation along the surface of the nucleus at the onset of mitosis is critical for bipolar spindle assembly. Dynein anchored on the nuclear envelope is known to be important for centrosome separation, but it is unclear how nuclear dynein forces ...

Identification of Chlamydomonas Central Core Centriolar Proteins Reveals a Role for Human WDR90 in Ciliogenesis

Pierre Gönczy, Coralie Busso, Virginie Hamel, Florence Armand, Isabelle Fluckiger, Romain Hamelin, Paul Guichard

Centrioles are evolutionarily conserved macromolecular structures that are fundamental to form cilia, flagella, and centrosomes. Centrioles are 9-fold symmetrical microtubule-based cylindrical barrels comprising three regions that can be clearly distinguis ...

Bidirectional motion of filaments: the role of motor proteins and passive cross linkers

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

In eukaryotic cells, motor proteins (MPs) bind to cytoskeletal filaments and move along them in a directed manner generating active stresses. During cell division a spindle structure of overlapping antiparallel microtubules forms whose stability and dynami ...
