Microtubules are major components of the cytoskeleton. They are found in all eukaryotic cells, and they are involved in mitosis, cell motility, intracellular transport, and maintenance of cell shape.

Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a ...

This clue about where consciousness comes from supports a Nobel-Prize winner’s theory about how quantum physics works in your ...

The quantum track of consciousness is emerging once again. What if our consciousness was not just a simple matter of brain ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes.

In trials of the new protocol, christened 20ExM, the project was able to image synaptic nanocolumns within brain cells, the clusters of proteins arranged in a specific way at synapses that allow ...

A groundbreaking study has unveiled a potential game-changer in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. Scientists have ...

La piste quantique de la conscience émerge à nouveau. Et si notre conscience n'était pas une simple affaire de chimie ...

A classical way to image nanoscale structures in cells is with high-powered, expensive super-resolution microscopes. As an ...

Researchers devised a way to expand tissue 20-fold in a single step. Their simple, inexpensive method could pave the way for nearly any biology lab to perform nanoscale imaging.

To pull it off, these microscopic hollow tube structures, called “microtubules,” don’t rely on our everyday flavor of classical physics. Instead, experts believe, microtubules perform ...
