In a small study, mice given fecal transplants from elite cyclists and soccer players had higher levels of glycogen, a key energy source.

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

Captivating footage taken on January 31 in Hong Kong, China, captured the mesmerizing moment an amoeba consuming a ciliate. The video shows the amoeba slowly engulfing the single-celled organism ...

The cytoplasm surrounding the food cup was found to contain structures not seen elsewhere in the ameba. The results are discussed in relation to the mechanisms which operate during food cup formation.

For example, replication defects and associated chromosomal instability, but also DNA damage due to defective DNA repair mechanisms trigger the release of dsDNA to the cytoplasm. Furthermore, ...

Here, we show that human GDOWN1 strictly localizes in the cytoplasm of various types of somatic cells and exhibits a potent resistance to the imposed driving force for its nuclear localization.

How bulk cytoplasm generates forces to separate post-anaphase microtubule (MT) asters in Xenopus laevis and other large eggs remains unclear. Previous models proposed that dynein-based, inward ...

In its active state, lysosome-bound mTORC1 physically retains TFE in the cytoplasm, while its dissociation from the lysosome upon inactivation leads to TFE release and nuclear translocation.
