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

Motor proteins that pause at the ends of microtubules and produce pushing forces can also stimulate their growth, according to researchers at Penn State. The proteins' function could be a critical ...

A human heart might contract some three billion times over a lifetime, and each one of those contractions is driven by a protein called myosin. One of three classes of so-called motor proteins in our ...

Understanding how microscopic interactions between proteins in cells produce large-scale organization and asymmetry is a fundamental question in cell biology.

A new study found Spinraza treatment restores a key amino acid called taurine in SMA type 1, which may improve clinical ...
