Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

Inositol phosphates are crucial secondary messengers that modulate a wide range of cellular processes, from energy metabolism to gene expression. These molecules, particularly inositol pyrophosphates, ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...
