    • Investigating a Role for the Actin Nucleator Cordon-Bleu in Brush Border Assembly 
      Grega Larson, Nathan Eric (2016-10-12)
      Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
      Enterocytes, epithelial cells of the small intestine, exhibit remarkable apical-basal polarity. The apical surfaces of enterocytes display an array of tightly packed microvilli termed the brush border. Microvilli are ...
    • Mechanisms of myosin-7b function in brush border assembly 
      Weck, Meredith Lynn (2018-03-29)
      Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
      The intestinal brush border serves as the sole site of nutrient absorption within the body, and also acts as an important barrier against luminal pathogens. The brush border is comprised of membrane protrusions called ...
    • Microvillar membrane shedding; a novel aspect of brush border function regulated by myosin-1a 
      McConnell, Russell E. (2010-03-22)
      Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
      Epithelial cells lining the lumen of the small intestine, called enterocytes, possess an exquisitely ordered array of microvilli collectively referred to as the brush border (BB). Microvilli are actin-rich membrane protrusions ...
    • Myosin-1d expression and dynamics in polarized cells 
      Benesh, Andrew Eugene (2011-12-12)
      Department: Cell and Developmental Biology
      Class I myosins are monomeric actin-binding, ATP hydrolyzing molecular motors that are expressed in a variety of cell types, and function at the membrane-actin interface. Myosin-1d, one of eight vertebrate class I myosins, ...
