UTSA study shows cell's cytoskeleton does more than hold up a cell, it transfers energy

(University of Texas at San Antonio) Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The University of Texas at San A...

Missing molecule hobbles cell movement

(University of Connecticut) Cells are the body's workers, and they often need to move around to do their jobs. Frequently, a cell will move through a tissue -- say, the wall of a blood vessel -- the way a rock climber scales a cliff, using a pro...
