Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The University of ...
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 ...
The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic network made up of actin polymers and associated actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton was originally isolated as a component of the actomyosin complex in ...
LMU researchers have developed photoresponsive derivatives of the anticancer drug Taxol, which allow light-based control of cytoskeleton dynamics in neurons. The agents can optically pattern cell ...
The rearrangement of the cell´s inner scaffold, the cytoskeleton, is a vital process for immune cells. In a new collaborative study, a rare inherited disease revealed a hitherto unknown role of a ...
In a 1960 lecture, cell and developmental biologist Paul A. Weiss encouraged his audience to think of the cell as an integrated whole “lest our necessary and highly successful preoccupation with cell ...
대한민국 과학기술인상 7월 수상자로 노성훈 서울대 생명과학부 교수가 선정됐다. 세포 기능에 필수적인 세포골격 재생 시스템을 규명해 노화와 신경퇴행성 질환 극복 기반을 마련한 성과를 인정받았다. 과학기술정보통신부와 ...
Researchers from Freiburg and Kiel discovered that actin acts in the cell nucleus and is partly responsible for the expression of male sexual characteristics Steroid hormones, to which belong sex ...
SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell. When researchers discovered that SETD2 is mutated ...
The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...
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 ...
