Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

Cell membranes are dynamic entities ... Now, a reconstituted minimal cytoskeleton composed of microtubules and molecular motors is shown to produce membrane fluctuations that drive active shape ...

cell migration and cell division. The key constituents of the cytoskeleton are actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Microtubule-based cargo transport relies on the actions of ...

Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of all cancers. It occurs in cells lining the deepest part of the skin's outer layer.

"These changes make the apical membrane—the top of the cell—less stiff and certain constituents of the tight junctions more mobile, without however affecting the barrier formed by these ...

The team has also proven the concept by building a pouch-type cell battery with the new membrane, showing it works well and could be commercially viable. Researchers created a very thin solid ...

String theory is the best candidate we have for a theory of everything. Bend to its rule and the various tangled theories of conventional physics emerge as part of a sublime, higher-dimensional ...

"It's much like doing a medical CT scan where you can see inside of the cell non-destructively, so you don't have to cut the cell open," says Carolyn Larabell, a cell biologist at UC San Francisco.

Engineers turn skin cells directly into neurons for cell therapy Date: March 13, 2025 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell ...

Furthermore, SSNA1 serves as a sensor of microtubule damage and protects microtubules from the microtubule severing enzyme, spastin. This paper will be of broad interest to scientists interested in ...
