Researchers have identified a mechanism which can explain aspects of neurodegeneration which have baffled scientists for ...

Scientists have long known that inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or motor neuron ...

Cytoplasmic dynein is a vital microtubule-based motor protein that drives retrograde intracellular transport, supporting essential cellular functions ranging from organelle positioning to cell ...

The functioning of neurons, cells that transmit information in the nervous system, heavily relies on the production of ...

Summary of this study. Left: Normal cells. Second from left: Cells with slightly reduced CENP-E function. These cells show slightly delayed chromosome alignment but remain viable before KIF18A ...

A human heart might contract some three billion times over a lifetime, and each one of those contractions is driven by a protein called myosin. One of three classes of so-called motor proteins in our ...

Myosin XI supports active boron uptake in plants by ensuring the proper placement of key transport channels in root cells Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development ...

Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ALS mouse model.
