Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were originally characterized in terms of their
harmful effects on cells and invading microorganisms, are increasingly implicated in various …

Semaphorins are extracellular signaling proteins that are essential for the development and
maintenance of many organs and tissues. The more than 20-member semaphorin protein …

Selenium is a vital trace element present as selenocysteine (Sec) in proteins that are, thus,
known as selenoproteins. Humans have 25 selenoproteins, most of which are functionally …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have long been studied as destructive agents in the context
of nervous system ageing, disease and degeneration. Their roles as signalling molecules …

Cellular actin networks exhibit a wide range of sizes, shapes, and architectures tailored to
their biological roles. Once assembled, these filamentous networks are either maintained in …

Actin is among the most abundant proteins in eukaryotic cells and assembles into dynamic
filamentous networks regulated by many actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton must …

A proper balance between chemical reduction and oxidation (known as redox balance) is
essential for normal cellular physiology. Deregulation in the production of oxidative species …

Cells use the actin cytoskeleton for many of their functions, including their division,
adhesion, mechanosensing, endo-and phagocytosis, migration, and invasion. Actin bundles …

Methionine in proteins, apart from its role in the initiation of translation, is assumed to play a
simple structural role in the hydrophobic core, in a similar way to other hydrophobic amino …

Semaphorins are secreted and membrane-associated proteins that regulate many different
developmental processes, including neural circuit assembly, bone formation and …
