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.

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 ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

A genetic system is developed to trace smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of diverse developmental origins. Dual recombinase-mediated genetic system enables efficient gene deletion in SMCs from different ...

Animal and plant cells have certain structures in common. Cell structure Function Cytoplasm Where enzymes and other proteins are made. Location of reactions in anaerobic respiration. Nucleus ...

Bacteria are amongst the simplest of organisms - they are made of single cells. Their cell structure is simpler than the cells of animals, plants and fungi. Size Most are 5 μm - 100 μm.

Others, such as those of many hybrid models, operate as a CVT but function in a totally different manner from that of the archetypical CVT. The run-of-the-mill CVTs that mate to the engines of ...

Our lungs are a vital part of our respiratory systems, so it’s vital to take care of them. Research suggests that as well as ...
