The coordinated assembly and disassembly of the neuronal actin cytoskeleton defines the range and complexity of morphologies in neurons like dendrite formation, spine development, and synaptic ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

In summary, our results demonstrate a role of endothelial Aquaporins in promoting water influx to increase endothelial tip cell volume and cytoplasmic hydrostatic pressure, as well as accelerate actin ...

Far from being uniform in structure and function ... Isopeptide versus peptide cleavage. The chemical features of an isopeptide bond differ significantly from those of a peptide bond.

These include fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, sterol lipids and sphingolipids. Significant diversity in lipid structure exists, with between 1000 and 2000 different lipid species thought to ...

Jan. 30, 2025 — A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors ...

Drugs targeting amyloid plaques have failed to show efficacy in clinical trials. A new approach is needed to tackle AD ...
