A mechanism that controls the movement of cells in a tissue by regulating cell adhesion has been identified. This same mechanism may be defective in diseases such as cancer and metastasis, when tumour ...

Organelles are compartments and structures inside cells that perform varied and vital functions, including energy production, storage and transportation of important substances and removal of waste ...

Researchers have identified the motors that move non-infectious prion proteins -- found within many mammalian cells -- up and down long, neuronal transport pathways. Identifying normal movement ...

Findings of a recent collaborative study can provide deep insights into the neuronal mechanisms of spontaneous orofacial movements related to reward processing in animals In animals, movements such as ...

Studies utilising primate models have been pivotal in advancing our understanding of strabismus – the misalignment of the eyes – and the associated eye movement mechanisms. In monkeys, detailed ...

A team of Canadian and American scientists has made a promising breakthrough in understanding the origins of a mysterious neurological disorder known as mirror movements. The discovery was made by ...
