Scientists have often thought of cells as small, bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids and shipping ...

Parkinson's disease affects more than 10 million people worldwide. The disease is characterized by the buildup of abnormal clumps of the protein alpha-synuclein inside brain cells, but scientists have ...

The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ensures the accurate transport of proteins to specific subcellular locations ...

Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This process is especially important in neurons, which have highly polarized ...

Scientists have often thought of cells as small, bustling cities with parts that resemble factories, power grids and shipping systems. While past research has illuminated the individual components of ...

Kinesin-2 motor proteins transport cargo along neuronal microtubules to ensure proper cellular organization. This study shows that kinesin-2 exists as distinct assemblies with different compositions ...

Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have conducted the first comprehensive structural analyses of a class of proteins whose dysfunction is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. In two new ...

Studies by researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine and at the University of California, San Francisco, have found that the protein tau, which is implicated in neurodegenerative disorders ...
