The update, Runtime 1.5, doesn't include the feature retraction in the release notes.
Lamellipodia, filopodia, microspikes and retraction fibers are characteristic features of a dynamic and continuously changing cell surface architecture and moesin, ezrin and radixin are thought to function in these microextensions as reversible links between plasma membrane proteins and actin microfilaments.
Plasma membrane retraction was a key feature of developmental PCD but did not occur in all induced modes of cell death.
Although neuronal loss, size and influence of TDP43-positive inclusions were variable according to neuronal groups, drop of CI, related to dendritic retraction, was a consistent feature shared by all studied neuronal groups (DL, OAH and ON).
Finally, sawtooth features in retraction curves are observed only infrequently (no more than 10% of retraction curves display features[46]) thus we may not have collected a sufficient number of retraction curves to observe this stochastic feature.
Capsular retraction is not a typical feature, and is believed to occur in haemangiomas which undergo fibrous degeneration, although this is not always the case [22].
However, we identified a decrease in CI, probably related to dendrite retraction, as a consistent early feature even in neuronal groups in which neuronal loss and atrophy were heterogeneous [ 24, 25].
If sawtooth features exist in our retraction curves, it is possible they are masked by the large adhesive forces present in our system.
However, capsular retraction may also be one of the features seen in other benign or malignant liver lesions, such as cholangiocarcinoma and metastatic carcinoma.
It seems its sliding forth when rain arrives – rather than its retraction when it passes – is its most salient feature.
