Researchers identified two anoikis-related genes linked with CTEPH, and that may serve as diagnostic biomarkers or treatment ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

The membrane of the cell protects the cell from its surroundings and divides it into internal compartments; it is responsible for metabolism, energy production, communication with other cells and much ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell.

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...
