jawillms{at}umich.edu Arginine induced acute pancreatitis was evaluated as a novel and distinct form of experimental pancreatitis with particular attention to the actin cytoskeleton and expression of ...

Check out the photograph that won a pair of MCG researchers the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition.

Conclusion: We identified the first non-olfactory ligand therapeutic that is bioavailable to engage a platelet OR and inhibit platelet activation and thrombosis via HSP27-mediated cytoskeleton ...

As with other disease states, biomarkers that can provide value across diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response, have ...

The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type ...

Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...

Antonio Squillante, Head of Sport Performance and Training at USA Cycling’s Sprint Program, shared his research-driven insights into eccentric training on Power ...

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 ...

In addition, E-cadherin can also interact with the scaffold protein AnkG and be associated with the cytoskeleton through β-spectrin. However, the molecular basis for the formation of the E ...

Stem cell on the viscosity-controlled model surfaces used to simulate cell-cell contact. Video shows the movement of the actin cytoskeleton during the cell adhesion process. Credit: Institute for ...

Here, the authors develop a biomimetic model of dividing cells to characterize the cytoskeleton’s mechanical power prior to division.
