Abstract: In recent years, the near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been used in prediction of the degree of polymerization (DP) of oil-paper insulation, but the practices show that the field moisture ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build and coordinate the internal scaffolding needed to create a healthy egg. The ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defence system called adaptive immunity comes into play. T cells, the top agents in this system, survey the internal environment ...

In the first months of his administration, President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His attacks have spanned from the ...

Version of Record: This is the final version of the article. The paper details a study of endothelial cell vessel formation during zebrafish development. The results focus on the role of aquaporins, ...

Earth is bathed in nitrogen. It makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, and it’s stitched into every nucleotide, every cell, every living thing on the planet. But before humans learned to synthesize ...

This study presents a valuable finding regarding the role of Arp2/3 and the actin nucleators N-WASP and WAVE complexes in myoblast fusion. The data presented is convincing, but it is suggested to ...

Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The discovery ...

Buildup of a protein called filamentous actin, or F-actin, in the brain inhibits the removal of cellular wastes, including DNA, lipids, proteins and organelles. The resulting accumulation of waste ...
