Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

The dynamic processes that occur during the growth of actin, via polymerization, and the breakdown of actin both play significant roles in cellular mechanisms like migration and adhesion. Due to the ...

The kidney's proximal tubule reabsorbs water, glucose, ions and other small molecules from the urine and thus maintains the ...

Depositphotos A closer examination revealed that the F-actin had messed up the cell’s recycling system. The researchers found that preventing F-actin accumulation, caused more autophagy in the brains ...

Researchers have visualized at the molecular level how formins bind to the ends of actin filaments. This allowed them to uncover how formins mediate the addition of new actin molecules to a growing ...

An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles. Actin filaments -- protein structures critical to living movement ...

Actin filaments - protein structures critical to living movement from single cells to animals - have long been known to have polarity associated with their physical characteristics, with growing ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A vast array of actin binding proteins (ABPs), together with intracellular signaling molecules, modulates the spatiotemporal distribution of ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
