A new study suggests that two of Alzheimer’s disease’s most debated players may be more closely connected than they first ...
New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer’s arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed ...
Like poles support a tent, microtubules—hollow cylindrical structures made of tubulin protein—support eukaryotic cells. But microtubules provide more than just mechanical strength; they help prepare ...
Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...
Direct evidence that microtubules function as mechano-sensors and regulate the intracellular transport of molecules has been reported, leading to new possibilities in the fields of biomechanics, ...
The chromosomes, once they have duplicated genetic information, move to the center of the cell and the cell, in a very remarkable way, quickly sprouts from its two ends large tubes that hook the ...
New UC Riverside-led research suggests Alzheimer's arises not simply from plaques forming in the brain, as is widely believed, but from one protein ...
