Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan.

Chara corallina myosin XI (CcXI) drives the movement of actin filaments, which spontaneously form ring-like structures due to a slight curvature that leads to polar alignment.

Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan. Instead, order emerges on ...

Boron, though required only in minimal amounts, is vital for plant development. It strengthens cell walls and supports the growth of roots and shoots. Normally, boron, in the form of boric acid, is ...

Understanding how microscopic interactions between proteins in cells produce large-scale organization and asymmetry is a fundamental question in cell biology.

A human heart might contract some three billion times over a lifetime, and each one of those contractions is driven by a protein called myosin. One of three classes of so-called motor proteins in our ...
