Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the body's supply of these essential constituents. The tubule can be easily ...

A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its biological function while resisting aggregation, a pathological trait linked ...

This valuable study further discloses the function of LRRK2 in BDNF-dependent synaptic processes in identifying postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton as a convergent site of LRRK2 pathophysiological ...

The skeletal muscle, one of the largest tissues in mammals, plays a crucial role in maintaining body movement and energy metabolism. Dysfunction or damage to the skeletal muscle can lead to various ...

Abstract: Both healthy and cancerous cells have the ability to migrate from one tissue to another. Anticancer drugs can control cell migration through various mechanisms. Although numerous studies ...
