Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

For years, scientists studying brain aging have focused on proteins and DNA. But what if a crucial piece of the puzzlehas been overlooked? A team of researchers at Stanford University has shifted its ...

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

either through viral vectors or drugs that target the enzymes that form the glycocalyx, to restore BBB function during aging or neurological disease,” Kipnis and Smyth wrote.—Madolyn Bowman Rogers ...

The researchers found that a deficit in mucin – a sugar-coated protein responsible for proper glycocalyx function – led to neuroinflammation in older mice. When mucin was reintroduced to the ...
