[HTML][HTML] E-cadherin focuses protrusion formation at the front of migrating cells by impeding actin flow

…, BE Vos, J Bandemer, J Schick, A Aalto… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
The migration of many cell types relies on the formation of actomyosin-dependent protrusions
called blebs, but the mechanisms responsible for focusing this kind of protrusive activity to …

[HTML][HTML] Increased concentrations of glutamate and glutamine in normal-appearing white matter of patients with multiple sclerosis and normal MR imaging brain scans

A Tisell, OD Leinhard, JBM Warntjes, A Aalto… - PLoS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
In Multiple Sclerosis (MS) the relationship between disease process in normal-appearing

Chemokine-biased robust self-organizing polarization of migrating cells in vivo

A Olguin-Olguin, A Aalto, B Maugis… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
To study the mechanisms controlling front-rear polarity in migrating cells, we used zebrafish
primordial germ cells (PGCs) as an in vivo model. We find that polarity of bleb-driven …

Brain magnetic resonance imaging does not contribute to the diagnosis of chronic neuroborreliosis
