This image shows a three-dimensional map of the basic structural unit in the parasite Trypanosoma brucei’s flagellum, with various mechanical and motor proteins labeled. Millions of people ...

Each of the underlying single-celled parasites - Trypanosoma brucei and its relatives - has one flagellum, a whiplike appendage that is essential for moving, infecting hosts and surviving in ...

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products such as renewable biofuels. Cell walls are made mostly of ...

The researchers found that cells in the cerebral cortex that were activated when the mice noticed the whisker-flick projected down to deeper brain regions, including the thalamus. The latest study ...

Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections. A neuron extends an axon to make contact with ...

“This work challenges a major assumption of cell biology by showing that the plasma membrane, the flexible bilayer that surrounds the cell, can have drastically different phospholipid ...

Each of the underlying single-celled parasites — Trypanosoma brucei and its relatives — has one flagellum, a whiplike appendage that is essential for moving, infecting hosts and surviving in different ...

which cells use to coordinate responses to stimuli. These molecules move through the ER’s elaborate structure, and Koslover, who studies transport in cells from a physics perspective, wanted to ...
