It relies on the beautiful and complex machinery of the mitotic spindle to ensure the accurate distribution of genetic material. The spindle is made up of tiny structures called microtubules, which act like molecular cables to move chromosomes to the right places. When these microtubules don't work properly, cells can end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, which is linked to cancer.</p> Wed, 28 Feb 2024 20:51:42 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1833 <p><strong>Severe kidney dysfunction in sialidosis mice reveals an essential role for neuraminidase 1 in reabsorption</strong></p> Tue, 07 Nov 2023 16:14:33 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1832 <p>CEP104/FAP256 and associated cap complex maintain stability of the ciliary tip</p> Mon, 06 Nov 2023 19:58:43 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1831 <p>成人VR视频鈥檚 Body Donor Program plays crucial role in health sciences education</p> <p>Overall, donors have an impact on the education of more than a thousand students every year.</p> Thu, 02 Nov 2023 20:12:44 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1828 <p>Neha Dinesh, PhD student in the Reinhardt lab, won the Iozzo Trainee Award at the combined conference of the American Society for Matrix Biology, the American Society for Investigative Pathology, and the Histochemical Society held in Salt Lake City, Utah from Oct 22-25, 2023.

Despite biochemical and structural advances, a fundamental contradiction has persisted in the current understanding of insulin ligand鈥搑eceptor interactions. While biochemistry predicts two distinct insulin binding sites, 1 and 2, recent structural analyses have resolved only site 1. Using a combined approach of cryo-EM and atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, we present the structure of the entire dimeric insulin receptor ectodomain saturated with four insulin molecules.</p> Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:51:22 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1597 <p>Dr. Charles E.

Dyskerin binds and regulates the accumulation of the human telomerase RNA, hTR, as well as other non-coding RNAs that share the conserved H<i>/</i>ACA box motif. The precise mechanism by which dyskerin controls hTR levels is unknown, but is evidenced by defective hTR accumulation caused by substitutions in dyskerin, that are observed in the X-linked telomere biology disorder dyskeratosis congenita (X-DC).</p> Tue, 23 Apr 2019 13:40:38 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1564 <p>Reinhardt lab receives 5-year CIHR grant to investigate extracellular matrix-mediated regulation of microRNAs in health and disease.

In mammals, fibronectin is important for the development of blood vessels before birth, but whether it is continuously required for blood vessel homeostasis from birth to adulthood is unknown. We present important results from three genetically modified mouse models, which show that at least one form of fibronectin is required for the proper function and integrity of blood vessels during this period.</p> Wed, 08 Aug 2018 17:28:09 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1555 <p><a href="https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(18)31046-5">C24 Sphingolipids Govern the Transbilayer Asymmetry of Cholesterol and Lateral Organization of Model and Live-Cell Plasma Membranes</a></p> <p>聽</p> Wed, 25 Jul 2018 13:55:49 +0000 成人VR视频 /anatomy/node/1535 <p>How is it that fertilized chicken eggs manage to resist fracture from the outside, while at the same time, are weak enough to break from the inside during chick hatching?
