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

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in cells' powerhouses, contribute to nerve cell death linked to motor control in MS, per a study.

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

An experiment involving artificial organs is just one way researchers are trying to capitalize on the weird ways low-gravity ...

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 ...
