Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a ...

Sensing environmental temperature is crucial for the development and survival of animals. Insects such as fruit flies have ...

Here, in this article, discrete microstructured soft-magnetic teeth (MTs) are circularly embedded into an artificial bacterial flagellum (ABF) to function as equivalent subunits, representing a good ...

Many bacteria use tail-like structures called flagella, which rotate to propel them through fluids ... While extensive research has focused on the stators, the exact structure and function of their ...

Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function is yet unclear ... species have tail-like structures -- called flagella -- that spin around to propel themselves ...

About half of known bacteria species use a flagella to move — a rotating appendage that functions like a propellor. The flagella have motors behind them with tiny cylinders that look almost mechanical ...

Defective ion channel in sperm flagellum renders men infertile and frustrates medically assisted reproduction In half of the couples that are unable to conceive a child, the infertility is due to the ...

and multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) phenotype. The strength of the study is that the experimental evidence using CFAP52 loss-of-function in mice is solid to support ...
