Small GTPases of the Rho family are potent modulators of the actin and microtubule ... to polarity proteins to induce spatially restricted cytoskeletal remodelling. This is required for cell ...

The microtubule-associated protein XMAP215 promotes microtubule growth, but how this occurs has been unclear. To address this question, Gary Brouhard et al. developed a single-molecule ...

Researchers have discovered how egg cells prepare for life by studying the Balbiani body, a structure that organizes key ...

I will discuss the functions of a novel YODA interacting protein that was previously reported to participate in PIN polar trafficking is now found to contribute a negative regulation on the BASL-YODA ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

Additionally, primary cilia play a role in maintaining cellular and tissue architecture by influencing the cytoskeleton and cell polarity. Furthermore, primary cilia are involved in the regulation of ...

Researchers have uncovered how egg cells prepare for the creation of life. Their work reveals the secrets of the Balbiani ...

EB3 is one of the microtubule plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs), a category of protein associated with the plus ends of elongating MTs with the function of modulate their dynamics and their ability ...

The presence of two types of hair cells, the inner and outer hair cells, in the organ of Corti was appreciated nearly a 100 years ago but the function of the two has only become clear in the last 20 ...

Jan. 14, 2025 — Researchers have developed a gene-editing treatment for prion disease that extends lifespan by about 50 percent in a mouse model of the fatal neurodegenerative condition. The ...

Generally speaking, you'll find cell phone deals coming in two forms - first as an outright sale on an unlocked device, and secondly as part of a carrier-plan tie-in. The latter can be a bit ...

These regulators are known as MYB, HDAC2, and FOXA2 and when they were suppressed in colon cancer cells, the cells switched back to a normal-like state, removing the cancer threat without ...
