New research has shed light on how plants precisely control their growth and development, revealing that seemingly similar molecular components fulfill surprisingly different jobs.

Researchers have discovered that a nine–amino acid microexon spliced into the DAAM1 gene is critical for memory formation, ...

Paxillin's function in regulating remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton is also discussed (Fig. 1). Figure 1: Integrin and growth-factor signalling through paxillin, and interactions with the ...

Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP) is an important regulator of the actin cytoskeleton in haematopoietic cells. WASP-deficiency gives rise to the human disease Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome ...

New research from the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has shed light on how plants precisely control ...

Entamoeba histolytica infects nearly 50 million people each year and kills around 70,000. It’s a shape-shifting parasite that ...

The present study identifies a role for actin cytoskeleton organization in the posttranscriptional regulation of eNOS during cell growth and examines the relationship between the state of actin ...

Vibration therapy inside the nasal cavity can reduce migraine days by more than three * Nerve stimulation calms hyperactivity in the hypothalamus to ease pain //rapidly * Non-invasive therapy may ...

Integrin receptors connect the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. This interaction can be viewed as a cyclical liaison, which develops again and again at new adhesion sites only to cease ...

Promigratory stimuli activate signal transduction cascades that trigger remodeling of the cytoskeleton, change the adhesiveness ... Important downstream targets include myosin II motors, actin capping ...

The antimitotic properties of parthenolide, a natural compound with known anticancer activity, have been largely ...
