We investigated putative roles of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β€ expressed in peripheral ganglia in the regulation of neuronal cell survival during the period of ontogenetic neuron death (OD). The chick ciliary ganglion (CG), where OD occurs between embryonic days (E) 6 and 10, was employed as a

When neuroblastoma cells are exposed to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), they undergo a vigorous, but transient blebbing phase. The effect is sensitive to inhibition by staurosporine, KT 5926 (an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase), and cytochalasin B, suggesting that LPA activates the phosphorylati
Plectin is a 580 kDa intracellular protein, previously shown to link intermediate filaments with microtubules, actin filaments, and membrane components. Disruption of the plectin gene in humans and in mice results in severe skin blistering and muscular degeneration, consistent with plectin's structu
The actin cytoskeleton mediates a variety of essential biological functions in cells, including division, shape changes, and movement. A number of studies have suggested that the abundant submembranous actin cytoskeleton present in the cortex of many cell types is involved in the regulation of cell
## Abstract Rnd3/RhoE has two distinct functions, regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell proliferation. This might explain why its expression is often altered in cancer and by multiple stimuli during development and disease. Rnd3 together with its relatives Rnd1 and Rnd2 are atypical members of
