A mechanism that controls the movement of cells in a tissue by regulating cell adhesion has been identified. This same mechanism may be defective in diseases such as cancer and metastasis, when tumour ...

A new study published in Brain Sciences provides evidence that dopamine promotes movement by directly altering the excitability of key neurons in the brain’s motor circuitry. The research identifies a ...

Researchers have discovered a central switch that controls whether cells move or remain stationary. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the increased movement of tumor cells and in the ...

Organelles are compartments and structures inside cells that perform varied and vital functions, including energy production, storage and transportation of important substances and removal of waste ...

Studies utilising primate models have been pivotal in advancing our understanding of strabismus – the misalignment of the eyes – and the associated eye movement mechanisms. In monkeys, detailed ...
