The Nikon Small World Competition celebrates its 50th year in 2024 with more than 2,100 entries submitted from 80 countries.

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 ...

Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce ...

17, 2020. There is an idea in biology that larger animals should be much more prone to cancer since they have more cells. But it doesn’t work out that way. Arizona State University researchers took 10 ...

As behavioral ecologists, we are interested in how adverse experiences early in life can affect animals' behavior, including the kinds of decisions they make and the way they interact with the ...

This past spring, Harvard University evolutionary biologist Joanna Wolfe, Ph.D., was in Okinawa, Japan, gathering information for her research on carcinization, or the study of how animals take on ...

The actin cytoskeleton is the network of proteins bound together in filaments that determine a cell's shape and enables ...

with structural changes in the cytoskeleton potentially influencing the progression of organ fibrosis. This review examines cytoskeletal remodeling and its impact on the transformation or activation ...
