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

Scientists have discovered that oestrogen activates pathways in the colon that trigger pain and make the female gut more sensitive to certain foods ...

The actin and microtubule cytoskeletons regulate cell shape across phyla, from bacteria to metazoans. In organisms with cell walls, the wall acts as a primary constraint of shape, and generation of ...

Three University of Delaware faculty members — Thomas H. Epps, III, Velia M. Fowler and Delphis Levia — have been elected 2024 fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

This study offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms by which Osx influences osteocyte function, particularly through its regulation of Cx43. However, the evidence supporting the authors' ...

The myocardial cytoskeleton functions as the fundamental framework critical for organelle function, bioenergetics and myocardial remodeling. To date, impairment of the myocardial cytoskeleton ...

ABSTRACT: Neutrophils, crucial players in the effector phase of the immune response, are recognized as important mediators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Through the production of pro- ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. LRRK2 protein is familially linked to Parkinson's disease by ...

Brain function is mediated by both excitatory and inhibitory interactions between neurons that possess their own “intrinsic electrical activity”. In the hippocampus, neuronal spiking synchronization ...
