Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Actin proteins assemble into thin, helical filaments that form a network throughout all eukaryotic cells. These filaments play a significant role in cell structure, movement, division, and more. This ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

Symmetry is a fundamental characteristic of most multi-cell animals. However, the cell division of embryonic cells is asymmetric. A team led by Prof. Dr. Esther Zanin at the Department of Biology at ...
