A joint research team from the LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) and the Faculty of Science at the University of Hong Kong has uncovered an unexpected interaction between chemotherapeutic agents and a ...

Charles Darwin predicted the existence of a moth with a long tongue based on a comet orchid's nectar spurs. This was ...

The long tail of a sperm cell, the finger-like cilia in the lungs, and the long axons of nerves are all built with microtubules—basic building blocks of the cell’s cytoskeleton. These structures are a ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles can greatly increase how much toxic chemicals enter plants and human cells.

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human ...

Microtubules are cylindrical polymers composed of alpha and beta tubulin. They are a major component of the cytoskeleton and mediate crucial cellular functions including formation of the mitotic ...

Micro- and nanoscale plastic particles in soil and water can significantly increase how much toxic chemicals plants and human intestinal cells absorb, according to two new studies from Rutgers Health ...

In humans, microtubules are composed of various tubulin isoforms:α-tubulin, β-tubulin, γ-tubulin, δ-, ϵ-, and z- tubulin (33). The heterodimers of α- and β-tubulin are the basic structural components ...
