Researchers from Freiburg and Kiel discovered that actin acts in the cell nucleus and is partly responsible for the expression of male sexual characteristics Steroid hormones, to which belong sex ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...

Septins belong to a family of GTP-binding proteins that is highly conserved in eukaryotes and is recognized as a novel component of the cytoskeleton. They assemble to form hetero-oligomeric complexes, ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell. When researchers discovered that SETD2 is mutated ...

Researchers discover that actin acts in the cell nucleus and is partly responsible for the expression of male sexual characteristics. Steroid hormones, to which belong sex hormones like estrogen or ...

Steroid hormones, to which belong sex hormones like estrogen or testosterone, are important signaling molecules and are responsible among other things for controlling female and male phenotypic sex ...
