[HTML][HTML] COSA-1 reveals robust homeostasis and separable licensing and reinforcement steps governing meiotic crossovers

R Yokoo, KA Zawadzki, K Nabeshima, M Drake, S Arur… - Cell, 2012 - cell.com
Crossovers (COs) between homologous chromosomes ensure their faithful segregation during
meiosis. We identify C. elegans COSA-1, a cyclin-related protein conserved in metazoa, …

Fibroblast contraction of a collagen–GAG matrix

TM Freyman, IV Yannas, R Yokoo, LJ Gibson - Biomaterials, 2001 - Elsevier
Contractile cells, found in wounded or diseased tissues, are associated with the formation of
scar tissue. The complexity of contraction in vivo has led to the development of models of …

Fibroblast contractile force is independent of the stiffness which resists the contraction

TM Freyman, IV Yannas, R Yokoo, LJ Gibson - Experimental cell research, 2002 - Elsevier
Using a device named the cell force monitor, the contractile force developed by fibroblasts
has been studied by measuring the macroscopic contraction of porous collagen–…
