The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

Understanding stress physiology and molecular response mechanisms in plants is essential for improving crop production and quality, particularly under ...

Cilia are outgrowths of the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells that contain a specialised cytoskeleton. Motile cilia are present on multiciliated cells and use this cytoskeleton to move fluid ...

The pleura (plural: pleurae) is a two-layered membrane that covers the lung. Between the layers is a small amount of lubricating fluid, known as pleural fluid, which helps cushion the lung and reduce ...

The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. Credit: ...

The best gaming keyboards are evolving. With Hall effect switches now a mainstay on the shelves, faster polling rates advertised outside of the core competitive market, and a number of custom ...

Here’s how it works. China's "artificial sun" reactor has broken its own world record for maintaining super-hot plasma, marking another milestone in the long road towards near-limitless clean ...

Biologists had long believed that bringing order and organization to the chaos of molecules inside a cell depended on membrane-bound compartments called organelles, such as the mitochondria.

This useful study introduces the peptidisc-TPP approach as a promising solution to challenges in membrane proteomics ... thereby providing critical insights into the dynamics of both system and ligand ...
