Abstract: Transcellular tunnels in endothelial cells can be formed by leukocytes and pathogens as a way of crossing the endothelial barrier. Using force microscopy and fluorescence microscopy, we find that the actin cytoskeleton provides the primary… read more here.

Abstract: Metabolic studies and animal knockout models point to the critical role of polyunsaturated docosahexaenoic acid (22:6, DHA)-containing phospholipids (PLs) in physiology. Here, we investigated the impact of DHA-PLs on the dynamics of transendothelial cell macroapertures… read more here.
