1. Natural products as new antimitotic compounds for anticancer drug development
Cell cycle control genes are frequently mutated in cancer cells, which usually display higher rates of proliferation than normal cells. Dysregulated mitosis leads to genomic instability, which contributes to tumor progression and aggressiveness. Many drugs that disrupt mitosis have been studied because they induce cell cycle arrest and tumor cell death. Thes

2. Heterogeneous Microtubules of Self-assembled Silver and Gold Nanoparticles Using Alive Biotemplates
Microtubules were constructed by covering the fungus Aspergillus aculeatus sequentially with silver and gold nanoparticles, resulting in a stable hybrid mesostructured material that presented three distinct regions containing different combinations of silver and gold nanoparticles. These heterogeneities were determined by the hyphal growth since the impossib

3. Morphology and histochemistry of glandular trichomes in Hyptis villosa Pohl ex Benth. (Lamiaceae) and differential labeling of cytoskeletal elements
ABSTRACT Lamiaceae contains many species known for their aromatic properties that are produced by the production of essential oils in glandular trichomes. Hyptis is one of the most common genera of Lamiaceae in the Brazilian flora, and includes several species with medicinal value. However, studies on the morphology and functioning of their glandular trichom

4. The effect of magnesium on mitotic spindle formation in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Abstract Magnesium (Mg2+), an essential ion for cells and biological systems, is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including the formation and breakdown of microtubules. The results of a previous investigation suggested that as cells grow the intracellular Mg2+ concentration falls, thereby stimulating formation of the mitotic spindle. In the prese

5. Auxinic herbicides, mechanisms of action, and weed resistance: A look into recent plant science advances
Auxin governs dynamic cellular processes involved at several stages of plant growth and development. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms employed by auxin in light of recent scientific advances, with a focus on synthetic auxins as herbicides and synthetic auxin resistance mechanisms. Two auxin receptors were reported. The plasma membrane receptor ABP1

6. JVG9, a benzimidazole derivative, alters the surface and cytoskeleton of Trypanosoma cruzi bloodstream trypomastigotes
Trypanosoma cruzi has a particular cytoskeleton that consists of a subpellicular network of microtubules and actin microfilaments. Therefore, it is an excellent target for the development of new anti-parasitic drugs. Benzimidazole 2-carbamates, a class of well-known broad-spectrum anthelmintics, have been shown to inhibit the in vitro growth of many protozoa

7. Spermatogenesis of Zaprionus indianus and Zaprionus sepsoides (Diptera, Drosophilidae): cytochemical, structural and ultrastructural characterization
Zaprionus indianus is a drosophilid native to the Afrotropical region that has colonized South America and exhibits a wide geographical distribution. In contrast, Z. sepsoides is restricted to certain African regions. The two species differ in the size of their testes, which are larger in Z. indianus than in Z. sepsoides. To better understand the biology and

8. Desenvolvimento de vetores não virais para entrega gênica baseados na cadeia leve de dineína Rp3 = : Development of non viral vectors for gene delivery based on dynein light chain Rp3 / Development of non viral vectors for gene delivery based on dynein light chain Rp3
Gene delivery is a promising technique with great medical potential that consists in the introduction of exogenous nucleic acids, and can be applied for gene therapy as well as DNA vaccination. However, its use is still limited by the lack of an ideal delivery vector, which is both safe and efficient. Although much more effective, viral vectors still raise s

9. Parthenogenetic activation of bovine oocytes using single and combined strontium, ionomycin and 6-dimethylaminopurine treatments.
In vitro-matured (IVM) bovine oocytes were activated with single and combined treatments of strontium (S), ionomycin (I) and 6-DMAP (D). Using oocytes IVM for 26 h, we observed that activation altered cell cycle kinetics (faster progression, MIII arrest, or direct transition from MII to pronuclear stage) when compared to in vitro fertilization. The effect of

10. Molecular characterization of beta-tubulin from Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of Asian soybean rust
β-tubulins are structural components of microtubules and the targets of benzimidazole fungicides used to control many diseases of agricultural importance. Intron polymorphisms in the intron-rich genes of these proteins have been used in phylogeographic investigations of phytopathogenic fungi. In this work, we sequenced 2764 nucleotides of the β-tubulin gen

11. Brazilian contribution for a better knowledge on the biology of Toxoplasma gondii
Historically, scientists in Brazil has significantly contributed to the biology, cultivation and structural organization of the pathogenic protozoan Toxoplasma gondiiand its interaction with host cells, starting with the description of the protozoan by Splendore in 1908. The intracellular and extracellular corpuscoli observed in rabbits, corresponded to what

12. FEZ1 protein : little organizational structure, activities related to elements of the cytoskeleton and generation of the "flower like" phenotype / A proteina FEZ1 : pouca organização estrutural, atividades associadas a elementos do citoesqueleto e formação do fenotipo "flower like"
FEZ1 was identified first as a orthologue of C elegans UNC-76 protein, that plays functions related to neuronal development in this worm. Subsequent studies, shows FEZ1 functions in neuronal development process, cell polarization, transport mechanisms associated to kinesins and vesicular and mitochondrial transports. Other works showed that FEZ1 superexpress
