Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to ...

Storing and processing memories uses nanoscopic motor proteins called kinesin that move materials around within neurons to ...

The motion of motor proteins on biopolymers is important for diverse biological processes. Actin, microtubules, and nucleic acids can serve as one-dimensional tracks on which motor proteins move.

In a study published in Nature Communications, researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison introduced a deep learning ...

This study proposes a new mechanism by which Chd1 senses and responds to DNA unwrapping via EDBL engagement to suppress ...

In another study using this technology, we actually have to unfold a protein twice: once before it can go through the nanopore via electrophoretic force and once before it can come back up. There is ...

Researchers have shed light on two regulators of huntingtin protein, finding one that mitigates Huntington's disease and one ...

Researchers found that inhibiting GSK-3 led to less defects in the axonal transport process and less neuronal cell death, while inhibiting ERK1 led to more transport problems and more cell death.

When Columbia neurologist and scientist Neil Shneider speaks to his ALS patients who volunteer for experimental therapies, he's unwaveringly honest.

Using the gene scissors CRISPR and stem cells, researchers at Stockholm University and the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK ...

These vesicles are themselves moved by motor proteins known as dyneins and kinesins. “This time, we focused on the signalers that actually regulate this entire complex transport system ...
