Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that ...

Jeffrey Moore lab studies how the microtubule network organizes the contents within cells and how problems can cause diseases ...

German scientists have found that the breakdown of sugar in the body affects not only energy production, but also directly controls the movement of cells. The discovery could change the understanding ...

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 ...

The cerebellum is instrumental in coordinating movement and refining motor control through intricate neuronal circuitry, with Purkinje cells serving as the central integrators of sensory inputs and ...

The human body is made up of trillions of cells that perform functions from skin protection to muscle movement. Cells can ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington ...

Lipids are fatty molecules that play critical roles in cell function, including membrane structure, energy storage and nutrient absorption. Most lipids are made in a cell organelle called the ...
