The animal world is incredibly colorful, and behind this color palette is a constant game of survival. Most animals use camouflage, covering themselves in stealthy patterns to hide from predators.

UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside the cells of microscopic worms, providing novel insights into cellular crowding in a multicellular animal. They found that the ...

Cytose and cytoplasm are related, but the two terms should not be used interchangeably. Cytosol is a component of the cytoplasm. Cytoplasm contains all the materials in the cell membrane, including ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

Children born to women who carry pathogenic variants in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are at risk for a range of clinical syndromes collectively known as mtDNA disease. Mitochondrial donation by ...

Abstract: Cofilin stimulates actin filament disassembly by severing and depolymerizing actin filaments and accelerates actin filament turnover. It is unclear whether cofilin contributes to ...

Vaccines using mRNA technology have been studied for decades, experts say. Over the last several days, the safety and efficacy of messenger RNA, or mRNA, vaccines have come under intense scrutiny. On ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Modern day drug discovery is shifting from single end point assays to more complex phenotypic assays that query single cell and population responses to chemicals and genetic manipulation. One such ...

The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of ...

The importance of glutathione (GSH) in alternative cellular roles to the canonically proposed, were analyzed in a model unable to synthesize GSH. Gene expression analysis shows that the regulation of ...

An antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) test is a blood test that checks for proteins your immune system makes to fight germs. This test can help your doctor diagnose autoimmune diseases like ...
