The cytoskeleton is far more than just a static scaffold; it's a dynamic and adaptable network that provides structural ...

Researchers discover that actin acts in the cell nucleus and is partly responsible for the expression of male sexual characteristics. Steroid hormones, to which belong sex hormones like estrogen or ...

Several lines of evidence indicate that the host cell microfilament cytoskeleton plays a key role in the different steps of the subcellular pathway involved in human immunodeficiancy virus-I (HIV-1) ...

Two extremely high molecular weight proteins were found to be components of the intestinal epithelial cell brush border cytoskeleton. The largest brush border protein, designated T-protein, migrated ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

A researcher has participated in a study describing what it is during the early stages of Alzheimer's that triggers the loss of dynamics and subsequent impairment of the dendritic spines, the ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

Steroid hormones, to which belong sex hormones like estrogen or testosterone, are important signaling molecules and are responsible among other things for controlling female and male phenotypic sex ...
