Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Biological systems, once thought too chaotic for quantum effects, may be quietly leveraging quantum mechanics to process ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the Upanishads, delivered a series ...

Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a rare, genetic neurodegenerative disorder in which large nerve fibers in the brain (axons) abnormally accumulate clumps of cytoskeletal proteins called ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

A number of spontaneous mutations in GFAP, encoding an astrocyte-specific intermediate filament protein ... and thereby have an impact on the cytoskeletal architecture and interactions.

More than 80 years ago, Erwin Schrödinger, a theoretical physicist steeped in the philosophy of Schopenhauer and the ...

Epithelial cells defend human skin and mucous membranes. Specialized structures known as “junctions” enable this “barrier” tissue to carry out its role. They control interactions between cells and ...
