Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

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 ...

Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

UCLA researchers found that the buildup of a key structural protein inside fruit flies’ neurons can drive aging – and that disrupting its structure may reverse aging.

A team of researchers at the University of Liverpool, working in collaboration with the Mechanobiology Institute at the ...

At 10 one-millionths of a meter wide, a single human cell is tiny. But something even smaller exerts an enormous influence on everything a cell does: proton concentration, or pH. On the microscopic ...

Treatment for superior sulcus tumors (SST): Effect of surgery first followed by adjunct concurrent chemoradiotherapy on survival of patients with marginally resectable SST. Background: Human Mena and ...

Most of us will probably be able to recall at least vaguely that a molecule called ATP is essential for making our bodies move, but this molecule is only a small part of a much larger system. Although ...
