Generic comparison of lumen nucleation and fusion in epithelial organoids with and without hydrostatic pressure

The paper compares lumen nucleation and fusion dynamics in three epithelial organoid systems under varying hydrostatic pressure conditions, revealing conserved self-organisation rules.

Tight junctions regulate lumen morphology via hydrostatic pressure and junctional tension

This study investigates how tight junctions regulate lumen morphology through hydrostatic pressure and junctional tension in MDCKII cysts.

Cleavage of α-1,4-Glycosidic Linkages by the Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-Anchored α-Amylase AgtA Decreases the Molecular Weight of Cell Wall α-1,3-Glucan in Aspergillus oryzae

This study shows that AoAgtA, a GPI-anchored α-amylase in Aspergillus oryzae, cleaves -1,4-glycosidic bonds in the spacer region of cell wall -1,3-glucan, reducing its molecular weight.

A glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored α-amylase encoded by amyD contributes to a decrease in the molecular mass of cell wall α-1,3-glucan in Aspergillus nidulans

The paper investigates the role of AmyD, a GPI-anchored α-amylase, in regulating the molecular mass of -1,3-glucan in Aspergillus nidulans cell walls.

The Cell Surface Receptors Ror1/2 Control Cardiac Myofibroblast Differentiation

This study shows that Ror1/2 receptors are essential for cardiac myofibroblast differentiation and heart remodeling in response to pressure overload.

Both galactosaminogalactan and α-1,3-glucan contribute to aggregation of Aspergillusoryzae hyphae in liquid culture

This paper identifies galactosaminogalactan and α-1,3-glucan as factors contributing to hyphal aggregation in Aspergillus oryzae and shows that their removal disperses hyphae, improving recombinant protein production.
