In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Recently published research shows that acidosis-evoked discomfort—termed ‘sngception’—is a distinct somatosensory modality, offering new diagnostic targets.

At sites of injury vimentin positive and actin negative spindle shaped cells appear in the intima, while the related pre-existent media shows focal absence of actin positive smooth muscle cells.

Immune cells have a surprising and critical role in controlling movement and bridging neural activity with metabolic demands, concludes a groundbreaking study published in Nature by researchers at ...

Located in muscle spindles, these cells modulate neural activity using glutamate signaling, fine-tune muscle contractions, and optimize energy use during physical activity. This feedback system ...

Professor di Giovanni said: “The discovery, not just of these immune cells in close contact to muscle spindles but also that they play a key role in movement, is very exciting. This knowledge has ...

There are many factors determining spindle formation, and one of these is the protein Ran-GTP, which plays an essential role in cell division of female reproductive cells, which lack centrosomes ...

To clarify the mechanism of magnetic orientation of adherent cells, we investigated the relationship between the magnetic cell orientation and the related factors such as cell type and cell density.

Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the murine intact muscle spindle provide comprehensive datasets of its different tissues and identify new tools to study its development and function.
