Cytoskeletal filaments assemble into dense parallel, antiparallel, or disordered networks, providing a complex environment for active cargo transport and positioning by molecular motors. The interplay between the network architecture and intrinsic motor properties clearly affects transport properties but remains poorly understood. Here, by using su...
During ontogeny, hematopoietic progenitors are generated in three independent waves, the first two (primitive and transient definitive) develop from the yolk sac (YS), before the appearance of Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) that occurs later in the Aorta‐Gonad‐Mesonephros (AGM), in the third and definitive wave. Both Tal1/SCL and its paralog Lyl‐1 ...

Mutations in the rfa operon leading to severely truncated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structures are associated with pleiotropic effects on bacterial cells, which in turn generates a complex phenotype termed deep-rough. Literature reports distinct behavior of these mutants in terms of susceptibility to bacteriophages and to several antibacterial subst...
AIM:Bronchial epithelium acts as a defensive barrier against inhaled pollutants and microorganisms. This barrier is often compromised in inflammatory airway diseases that are characterized by excessive oxidative stress responses, leading to bronchial epithelial shedding, barrier failure, and increased bronchial epithelium permeability. Among protei...
Singlet oxygen produced from triplet excited chlorophylls in photosynthesis is a signal molecule that can induce programmed cell death (PCD) through the action of the OXIDATIVE STRESS INDUCIBLE 1 (OXI1) kinase. Here, we identify two negative regulators of light-induced PCD that modulate OXI1 expression: DAD1 and DAD2, homologs of the human antiapop...
