Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to ...

Plant functional diversity is highly dynamic over time and fluctuates considerably. It is influenced by seasonal cycles and ...

The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These "warrior" cells work to kill off infected or cancerous cells in what is both a quick yet ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect around 50 million people worldwide. They arise when neurons deteriorate and die. Neurodegeneration was thought to result from defects within neurons. But recent ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

Ketosis is a significant metabolic disorder caused by negative energy balance (NEB). β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) is the most abundant circulating ketone body and is known to accumulate within follicular ...

This is a valuable manuscript analyzing single-cell RNA-sequencing data from the mouse vomeronasal organ. Convincing evidence in this manuscript allows the authors to identify and verify the ...

The ER-phagy receptor FAM134B is initially distributed via the membrane surface (left). Its IDRs move back and forth in a largely disordered manner, like tentacles. The formation of local clusters ...

Background: We identified a family with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The proband presented with corneal arcus, skin, and tendon xanthomas, significant stenosis in the coronary circumflex and ...

The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in protein transport and quality control, cellular signaling, and stress response.
