New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...

The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz ...

Shanes, A. H., J. Cell. and Comp. Physiol., 23, 193 (1944).

A recombinant sEV was created by linking PMO (a targeted drug for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy) and M12 (a muscle-targeted peptide) to CD63 on the sEV membrane. These sEVs, when ...

A pilot study in 19 LGMD patients and one with Becker MD found low-dose prednisone helped lower markers of muscle damage and inflammation.

Looking to make tasty fall-off-the-bone beef ribs? We interviewed two chefs on their favorite tips and techniques for the ...

Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.
