Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce ...

Similarly to mice that lack other regulators of the cytoskeleton, HEM1-deficient T cells showed decreased activation and proliferation compared with wild-type T cells. Surprisingly, some T-cell ...

真核细胞依赖形态的动态变化来执行多种功能，以维持基本生物过程并调控细胞行为。单细胞捕食性原生动物——长吻虫，其形态与天鹅相似，其中常见种天鹅长吻虫（Lacrymaria ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

A study in Nature Communications shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The ...

"Enhanced axonal transport has been linked to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS and Alzheimer's disease," Cisterna and team ...

“This image reveals how disruptions in the cell’s cytoskeleton–the structural framework and ‘highways’ known as ...

We recently discovered that these structures are essential for the establishment of reticular adhesions. In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin ...

The hope is that this discovery could further efforts to slow human aging and extend our lifespans. The main discovery relies ...

To effectively adapt to change, living organisms rely on their ability to rapidly detect and process sensory information in ...

This study presents a valuable finding on the molecular mechanisms that govern GABAergic inhibitory synapse function. The authors propose that Endophilin A1 serves as a novel regulator of GABAergic ...
