Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

Importantly, we find that RhoA/ROCK signaling, which is essential for actin and myosin dynamics during border cell migration, could exert its effect on mitochondrial fission through regulating Drp1’s ...

Despite these uncertainties, the present results undoubtedly indicate that the period between 6 and 8 hpf is crucial for shell field development, consistent with the time window showing aggregations ...

Particularly, we are interested in how the distinct motors myosin, dynein and kinesin coordinate to transfer the endosome smoothly from the actin to the microtubule network, ensuring precise ...

Each muscle fiber consists of a cross-banded structure that is further divided into myofibrils that contain thick (myosin) and thin (actin) myofilaments, which give muscle its stripe appearance. This ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

If Oregon’s recent cold snap has you shivering, and the ice and snow in the forecast seem unusual, take solace. The state climatologist feels it too — even when he’s looking at data that ...
