Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted substances through dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, the cell's ...

At the ripe old age of 73, I take six drugs — four prescription and two over-the-counter pills — every day. I keep careful track of them. But recently, when I received a refill, I noticed my blue pill ...

We demonstrated for the first time that Hv1 is present and functional on endosomes. Additionally, Hv1 controlled actin cytoskeleton function via a protein called CapZ. The actin cytoskeleton was also ...

Scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a breakthrough nanoscale system that can deliver multiple proteins into living cells to function as a miniature ...

For the first time, researchers have captured the formation of a key driver of inflammatory responses inside intact human cells. Pioneering a new system for observing molecular assemblies, researchers ...

Living systems such as cells rely on membrane pores and channels to transport molecules, exchange signals, and organize biochemical reactions. These functions emerge from dynamic interactions between ...

Why structure matters: Scientists modeled how the thymus develops its convoluted shape, showing it boosts the elimination of harmful T cells and prevents autoimmune diseases. Specialized cell roles: ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have created a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps reveal how genes function together inside human cells, offering a powerful ...
