Cytoplasmic dynein is a vital microtubule-based motor protein that drives retrograde intracellular transport, supporting essential cellular functions ranging from organelle positioning to cell ...

The cell cytoskeleton is modulated by motor proteins, known as dyneins, that generate force and movement on microtubules to control a wealth of biological processes, including motility, cell division, ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...
