Each day, a human adult loses on average 50 to 70 billion cells, which die from natural causes alone. New cells replace lost ...

In 2015, researchers examining deep-sea sediments near the underwater volcano Loki discovered gene fragments indicating a new ...

Microtubules are major components of the cytoskeleton. They are found in all eukaryotic cells, and they are involved in mitosis, cell motility, intracellular transport, and maintenance of cell shape.

It is now well-established that spindles are bipolar arrays of microtubules composed of tubulin (Figure 5) and that the centrosomes nucleate the growth of the spindle microtubules. During mitosis ...

This study provides compelling evidence that kinesin's stepping mechanism is governed by strain-induced conformational changes in its nucleotide-binding pockets. Using pre-steady state kinetics and ...
