Cytoskeletal proteins are proteins that make up the cytoskeleton, flagella or cilia of cells. Generally, cytoskeletal proteins are polymers, and include tubulin (the protein component of ...

The term "alert and oriented" (AO) is a medical notation describing a person's level of consciousness and cognition (the ability to understand and learn through thought, experiences, and the senses).

Looking closely at the motile cells and microorganisms, one can find both order and anisotropy within their microstructure, driving out-of-equilibrium asymmetric deformations of their soft bodies and ...

The Human Protein Atlas (HPA) is an impressive open-access resource that offers scientists deep biological insights beyond the human genome. Launched in 2003, the HPA’s aim was to map of all the human ...

After a week of build-up, The Beatles have released what's been billed as their "final song". Called Now And Then, it's been 45 years in the making - with the first bars written by John Lennon in ...

These interactions contribute to the stability of the doublet and hence, normal ciliary motility. Cilia and flagella are highly conserved organelles present in protists all the way to humans. They are ...

The construction of cilia and flagella depends on intraflagellar transport (IFT), the bidirectional movement of two protein complexes (IFT-A and IFT-B) driven by specific kinesin and dynein motors.
