Scientists have shown that small aggregates function as temporary RNA repositories, which are regulated by neural activity. LMU scientists have shown that small aggregates function as temporary RNA ...

Cells constantly have to adapt the level of activity of certain genes to specific requirements. This applies particularly to neurons, where synapses have to be repeatedly re-formed, re-wired, and ...

Secretory granules released by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are powerful weapons against intracellular microbes and tumor cells. Despite significant progress, there is still limited information on ...

The dentate gyrus (DG) is a region of the mammalian brain known to support the encoding of new memories. This brain region is part of the hippocampal formation, a set of brain regions involved in ...

In the August 16 Neuron, researchers led by Rosa Rademakers, Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, Florida, and Paul Taylor, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, Tennessee, report that mutations in ...

Stress granules are droplet-like protein hubs that temporarily shield fragile RNA from cellular stresses such as toxins. VCP is a protein essential for breaking up stress granules and has been linked ...

An NCDB analysis of the predictive factors associated with the receival of tumor resection in mucinous cystadenoma of the pancreas. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting I ...

Cells organize their molecules in distinct functional areas. While textbooks usually refer to membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria and cell nuclei, recent studies have also revealed ...

Researchers believe that many proteins linked to neurodegenerative diseases function when condensed into liquid droplets. Unfortunately, for reasons that elude scientists, those droplets can harden ...

LMU scientists have shown that small aggregates function as temporary RNA repositories, which are regulated by neural activity. Cells constantly have to adapt the level of activity of certain genes to ...
