Human 'mini-guts' generated from crypt-based or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells functionally recapitulate normal intestinal transport physiology and model pathophysiologic changes following ...

Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism of intracellular transport in unicellular chromatophores are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the possible role(s) of the three major cytoskeletal ...

Researchers have discovered that proteins carrying chemical cargo in nerve cells react differently when exposed to the tau protein, which plays an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

HHMI researchers suggest that defective cell transport may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Over the last few years, scientists have been successful in identifying genes implicated in Alzheimer’s ...

Biophysicists have designed a new cell-like transport system that represents an important milestone on the road to artificial cells. Creating artificial cells with life-like characteristics out of a ...

The UNC School of Medicine recently announced its new Masters of Science in Cell Biology and Physiology, with the program's first cohort set to begin coursework in the fall 2025 semester. The nine ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Auxin transport in corn coleoptile sections was inhibited by 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) as well as by 1-N-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA); ...

Cardiovascular disease continues to be the leading cause of death worldwide. But advances in heart-failure therapeutics have ...

Plants transport water and nutrients from their environment through specialized pores. Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have shed light on a little-known but essential mechanism for ...
