Detailed structural, biochemical, cell biological, and genetic studies of any gene/protein are
required to develop models of its actions in cells. Studying a protein family in the aggregate …

The human genome encodes approximately 20,000 proteins, many still uncharacterised. It
has become clear that scientific research tends to focus on well-studied proteins, leading to …

The ADP-ribosylation factors (Arfs) comprise a family of regulatory GTP binding proteins.
The Arfs regulate membrane trafficking and cytoskeleton remodeling, processes critical for …

Cortical collapse factors affect microtubule (MT) dynamics at the plasma membrane. They
play important roles in neurons, as suggested by inhibition of axon growth and regeneration …

In response to a pulling force, a material can elongate, hold fast, or fracture. During animal
development, multi-cellular contraction of one region often stretches neighboring tissue …

Drosophila melanogaster larval hematopoiesis is a well-established model to study
mechanisms that regulate hematopoietic niche maintenance and control of blood cell …

The giant freshwater prawn pj Macrobrachium rosenbergii is one of the best studied species
in aquaculture. However, the transcriptional changes associated with embryonic …

Klotho (KL) gene has been accepted as an" aging suppressor" gene that encodes a single
transmembrane protein in human known as Klotho which is commonly expressed in renal …

Background Actin cytoskeletal networks push and pull the plasma membrane (PM) to control
cell structure and behavior. Endocytosis also regulates the PM and can be promoted or …

The dynamics of host–parasite interactions can change dramatically over the course of a
chronic infection as the internal (physiological) and external (environmental) conditions of …
