In many disciplines, data are highly decentralized across thousands of online databases (repositories, registries, and knowledgebases). Wringing value from such depends on the discipline science humble bricks mortar that make integration possible; identifiers a core component this infrastructure. Drawing our experience work by other groups, we outline 10 lessons have learned about identifier qualities best practices facilitate large-scale integration. Specifically, propose actions...
Annexin 1 (AnxA1) is a multifunctional phospholipid-binding protein associated with the development of metastasis in some invasive epithelial malignancies. However, role AnxA1 migration/invasion cells not known. In this study, experiments were performed to investigate invasion model cell line, SKCO-15, derived from colorectal adenocarcinoma. Small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown expression resulted significant reduction through Matrigel-coated filters. Localization studies revealed...
Migration of epithelial cell sheets, a process involving F-actin restructuring through Rho family GTPases, is both physiologically and pathophysiologically important. Our objective was to clarify the mechanisms whereby downstream RhoA effector Rho-associated coil-coil-forming kinase (ROCK) influences coordinated motility. Although cells exposed pharmacological ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632) exhibited increased spreading in wound closure assays, they failed migrate cohesive manner. Two main...
Data are the foundation of science, and there is an increasing focus on how data can be reused enhanced to drive scientific discoveries. However, most seemingly "open data" do not provide legal permissions for reuse redistribution. The inability integrate redistribute our collective resources blocks innovation stymies creation life-improving diagnostic drug selection tools. To help biomedical research support communities (e.g. libraries, funders, repositories, etc.) understand navigate...
Abstract Neuronal damage induced by injury, stroke, or neurodegenerative disease elicits swift immune responses from glial cells, including altered gene expression, directed migration to injury sites, and clearance of damaged neurons through phagocytic engulfment. Collectively, these hinder further cellular damage, but the mechanisms that underlie important protective reactions are still unclear. Here, we show evolutionarily conserved trimeric protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) serine/threonine...
Superficial wounds in the gastrointestinal tract rapidly reseal by coordinated epithelial cell migration facilitated cytokines such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/scatter released wound vicinity. However, mechanisms which HGF promotes physiological and pathophysiologic are incompletely understood. Using vitro models of polarized T84 Caco-2 intestinal epithelia, we report that promoted spreading RhoA GTPase activation a time-dependent manner. Inducible expression enhanced green fluorescent...

The Community of Open Scholarship Grassroots Networks (COSGN), includes 120 grassroots networks, representing virtually every region the world and research discipline. These networks communicate coordinate on topics common interest. We propose, using an NSF 19-501 Full-Scale implementation grant, to formalize governance coordination maximize impact establish standard practices for sustainability. In project period, we will increase capacity COSGN advance community goals participating...

Annexin 1 (AnxA1) is a multifunctional phospholipid binding protein that has been identified as metastasis-associated in subset of epithelial malignancies. We hypothesize AnxA1 regulates cell migration/invasion. Mechanisms by which annexin motility are unknown. To analyze the role regulating migration, we used model line (SKCO-15) derived from colorectal adenocarcinoma. Localization studies revealed presence on surface SKCO-15 cells was increased upon induction migration. Functionally,...
