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 ...

Regardless of the cell type, the researchers found that damage to the mitochondria did not cause cell death. This observation ...

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

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

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

Cells navigating in complex microenvironments frequently encounter narrow spaces that physically challenge migration.
