    Hundreds of myosin 10s are pushed to the tips of filopodia and could cause traffic jams on actin

    Julia Shangguan, Ronald S Rock
    Improved technology for counting proteins captures myosin 10 dynamics throughout the filopodial lifecycle, defines requirements for initiating filopodia, and reveals a crowded filopodial tip where motors frequently exceed available actin.

    Neurons enhance blood–brain barrier function via upregulating claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression due to glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor secretion

    Lu Yang, Zijin Lin ... Li Liu
    The established triple co-culture blood-–brain barrier (BBB) model could be used for predicting drugs’ BBB permeability, and co-culture with neurons and astrocytes enhanced brain endothelial cells’ integrity by secreting GDNF, which upregulated claudin-5 and VE-cadherin expression.
