A structural protein best known for building the internal scaffolding of cells may double as a natural defense against the ...

Researchers found that tubulin can guide Tau and alpha synuclein toward healthy roles in neurons instead of forming toxic aggregates. The findings suggest boosting tubulin levels may help protect ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

A gene called FOXJ1 may drive resistance to taxane chemotherapy during treatment for advanced prostate cancer, according to a new study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Beth Israel ...

As organisms grow, live, and move through the world, they're subjected to an array of internal and external forces. Biological forms must be able to withstand the stresses of stretching and ...

A new study by researchers from Drexel University College of Medicine reverses the popular scientific dogma that the protein tau stabilizes microtubules within brain cells. The scientists’ new ...

Though it is widely believed that tau protein stabilizes microtubules in neurons of the brain, new research suggests just the opposite: tau lengthens microtubules and keeps them dynamic. A new study ...

Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

Tubulin acts as a master regulator, preventing Tau and alpha-synuclein from forming toxic clumps in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

A new study by researchers from Drexel University College of Medicine reverses the popular scientific dogma that the protein tau stabilizes microtubules within brain cells. The scientists' new ...
