Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy-intensive biosynthetic pathway, and the production of the building blocks for membrane phospholipids is precisely regulated to match the rate of cell division.

They created specialized nanopillars capable of entering a cell's nucleus—where DNA is housed—without damaging the cell membrane. We have developed a tool that can easily create a gateway into the ...

Here the authors reveal how the membrane lipid modulates the conformational transition of this important enzyme. The Ca 2+ ion channel Orai1 plays an important role in T-cell activation.

Nov. 25, 2024 — The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus -- a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell -- small, according to nvestigators. The findings were ...

Nov. 26, 2024 — Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new ...

Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...

This study presents a plastic ceramic electrolyte with self-healing capabilities, enhancing the performance and durability of ...

The prelimbic (PrL) cortex is vulnerable to insult from adolescent alcohol exposure and receives input from the basolateral amygdala (BLA) while sending projections to the ventrolateral periaqueductal ...

Data are expressed as mean±SEM. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance and ... both markers were induced but revealed different patterns of activation. pERK was induced ...
