Researchers use cryo-electron microscopy to reveal how sodium ions power bacterial flagellar motors, providing insights for ...

Cilia are outgrowths ... in signalling between cells. Cilia assembly relies on cargo trains that move bidirectionally on separate tubules of the ciliary microtubular structure, preventing traffic ...

This valuable study reports on the critical role of ANKRD5 (ANKEF1) in sperm motility and male fertility. However, the supporting data remain incomplete. This work will be of interest to biomedical ...

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures—called flagella—that spin ... The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the flagellum.

Among these, many bacterial species have tail-like structures--called flagella--that spin around to propel ... The rotor is a large rotating structure, anchored to the cell membrane, that turns the ...

Cilia are only assembled during the G 0 (the period in which a cell remains in a quiescent and/or differentiated state). Conversely, entry into the cell cycle is preceded by ciliary resorption (48).

Tubulins are a conserved superfamily of proteins that are important in the structure and function of the microtubule cytoskeleton. We have characterized in vertebrates the final member of the tubulin ...

Existence of cilia in the last eukaryotic common ancestor ... male mice are infertile due to the malformation of sperm flagella. Interestingly, male mice with the loss of XAP5 protein in germ cells ...

Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with ...

Their research focuses on the nucleolus, a microscopic structure within the cell nucleus that appears to function as a biological timer, potentially controlling how and when cells age. The ...

Our biceps and our brain cells may have more in common than previously thought ... she knew her lab needed to figure out what ...
