Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division. To ...

Various types of mammalian extracellular glycan are produced in the secretory pathway. This Review covers the enzymatic synthesis of glycans and the mechanisms by which cellular glycans are regulated.

Recent technical advances have made possible the visualization and genetic manipulation of individual dendritic trees. These studies have led to the identification and characterization of molecules ...

A KAIST research team has discovered that the Huntington protein originally plays a critical role in forming the neuronal cytoskeleton under normal conditions. The findings were published in the ...

Abstract: In this article, we report the design and fabrication for planar-type incandescent microfilaments on the silicon on insulator (SOI) wafer. The micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) process ...

An eGFR below 60 ml/min indicates possible kidney disease. High creatinine levels in the blood can suggest the kidneys are not working well. A urine albumin result higher than 30 mg/gram may be a sign ...

Neurons are cells that transmit electrical signals through the nervous system. Motor neurons control muscle activity and movement by carrying impulses from the brain and spinal cord. Sensory neurons ...
