Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings ...

The movement of cells in the human body – known as cell migration – is crucial for immune cells. These cells must move quickly and flexibly in different environments in order to fulfil their role as ...

Given the relatively limited number of known protein families ... Sp1 is critical for motor axon guidance but is not required for axon outgrowth, neuronal survival, or migration Studies suggest that ...

Dopaminergic neuron dysfunction has been implicated in multiple neurological and psychiatric disorders. SELENOT is a selenocysteine-containing protein of the ER membrane with antioxidant and ...

Next-generation sequencing has enabled precision therapeutic approaches that have improved the lives of children with rare diseases. Congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs) are associated ...

The spectraplakin family protein GAS2 was originally identified as a growth arrest-specific protein, and recent studies have revealed its involvement in multiple cellular processes. Its dual ...

The paper S. Kaur et al., “An unmet actin requirement explains the mitotic inhibition of clathrin-mediated endocytosis,” eLife, 3:e00829, 2014. For decades, scientists observed clathrin-mediated ...

Researchers found that disrupting a protein duo in the brain can spark autism-like behaviors in mice. Restoring their balance reversed the effects. Scientists studying mice have uncovered a delicate ...

Besides four genes (ETH2_0729300, ETH2_0729400, ETH2_0729600, ETH2_0729700) without clear functional annotation, ETH2_0729200 is predicted to encode a dynein motor protein, ETH2_0729400 and ...
