Newly discovered brain cells count each bite before sending the order to cease eating a meal. Columbia scientists have found specialized neurons in the brains of mice that order the animals to ...

Researchers have discovered that a single molecule, Wnt3, coordinates a two-step process of cell polarity orientation that enables jellyfish embryos to develop around a central axis, shedding light on ...

We recommend using your OS's package manager directly instead for improved security but the install script is by no means insecure. In addition to being a runnable CLI tool, D2 can also be used to ...

It can be seen as a set of instructions that tells cells where to grow and how to form an animal's body shape ... a lack of the necessary tension and structure to give the cells their typical ...

In this review, we discuss recent evidence suggesting emerging roles of primary cilium and cilia-mediated signaling pathways in the regulation of pancreatic β- and α-cell functions, and its ...

Table 1 below provides an overview of the key features of a prokaryotic cell: Table 1. The structure and function of key prokaryotic cell structures. Prokaryotes have ribosomes but they are smaller ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through ... Relay interneurons: These interneurons have long axons and connect different neurons and regions of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The γTuRC is the principal MT nucleator in animal cells and plays a crucial role in MT organization ... is also required for the transport of the ODA complex from the cytoplasm to the cilia. The ...
