Our view on the embodiment of our psychology is still deeply influenced by many cultural interpretations rooted in dualistic ...

8 TPM splice proteoforms regulate distinct actin filament populations to mediate cell-specific structural properties. 7 ...

Aggregation of mutant forms of Huntingtin is the underlying feature of neurodegeneration observed in Huntington's disorder. In addition to neurons, cellular processes in non-neuronal cell types are ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. Miao Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

This scaffolding is made of a protein called actin, which assembles into filaments (F-actin) that resemble a helical strand of beads. Unlike the structural scaffoldings in buildings, the F-actin in ...

To achieve this, non-muscle myosin 2 forms higher-order filaments within the cell, which then interact with the actin cytoskeleton network to apply force and produce movement. Until recently, the ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. MIAO Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered that Lacrymaria cells utilize unconventional and novel ...
