Yeast cell polarity and division dynamics underpin the fundamental processes of asymmetric growth and replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The establishment of polarity is mediated by the ...

A previously unknown mechanism involving the protein Scribble helps maintain polarity in cells, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. This new ...

All living things polarize, so examining the elements of how this occurs is to study the basic necessities of life. Lombardo’s lab focuses on studying human cell polarity and was recently awarded a ...

Within the brain and other parts of the nervous system, synapses are key junctional points in between neurons (the nerve cells) where critical signals are transmitted. More specifically, the ...

The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a not-for-profit publication, edited by scientists, and a leading life sciences journal. The JCB publishes papers on all aspects of cellular structure and function ...

Dr. Irwin Arias, emeritus senior scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and a renowned doctor in the field of hepatology, the study of the liver, emphasized the importance of studying ...

Scientists have uncovered a key mechanism in jellyfish embryos that provides new insights into how the body plan of these animals develops along a central axis from their ‘head’ to ‘tail’. The study, ...
