The findings offer new insights into cell health and disease as failures in replication licensing can result in cell death or cancer. According to a…
The researchers discovered that PDGF-B enhances not only muscle growth but also strengthens them. Myokine has been demonstrated to enhance both the growth of myoblasts…
Exercise has the ability to imitate the molecular profile of muscles that have been subjected to Yamanaka factors, resulting in a molecular expression similar to…
The new approach is called iDEMS (isolation of DNA by EdU labeling for Mass Spectrometry). A recent technical report in Nature Cell Biology has introduced…
Heliozoan Raphidocystis contractilis withdraws its axopodia a few milliseconds after encountering an external stimulus. Researchers from Okayama University, Japan report that microtubule dynamics hold the…
Proteins labeled with colored tags fill the main compartment — but not the nuclei (blue) — of human cervical cancer cells. Green cells contain the…
