Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

The study found that disrupting the protein actin, which enables cell contraction and movement, reduced hair growth by over ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Actin proteins assemble into thin, helical filaments that form a network throughout all eukaryotic cells. These filaments play a significant role in cell structure, movement, division, and more. This ...

Humans and fruit flies both may become forgetful as they age. But because fruit flies have a lifespan of only about two months, they can be a useful model for understanding the cognitive decline that ...
