Treatment with Evrysdi (risdiplam) may modestly improve arm function for adults with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a new study indicates.

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

Researchers capture first-of-its-kind video of dynein–Lis1 protein interaction, supporting future drug development for neurological disorders. Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized ...

The kinesin-2 motor protein uses a hook-like adaptor and cargo-binding (HAC) domain to recognize and transport cargo along microtubule highways, revealing a cellular logistics system critical for ...

Scientists have discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they ...

Summary of this study. Left: Normal cells. Second from left: Cells with slightly reduced CENP-E function. These cells show slightly delayed chromosome alignment but remain viable before KIF18A ...

Researchers from the Institute for Molecular Science aimed to level out the speed difference between artificial motors and motor proteins by improving the nanoscale artificial motor using their ...
