This movie shows 3D renderings of these structures in high-resolution 3D electron microscopy images of fruit fly neurons. The ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

The long tail of a sperm cell, the finger-like cilia in the lungs, and the long axons of nerves are all built with microtubules—basic building blocks of the cell’s cytoskeleton. These structures are a ...

Microtubules are cylindrical polymers composed ... move bidirectionally on separate tubules of the ciliary microtubular structure, preventing traffic jams. Here, the authors demonstrate that ...

DNA-based rulers require complex chemical synthesis and only work outside cells. Using cellular structures like microtubules as reference points provides limited fixed distances. Nuclear pore ...

The biomarker test is a spinal tap test (also called a lumbar puncture) that uses a needle to remove cerebrospinal fluid (i.e ...
