For decades, scientists have known that motor proteins like kinesin-2 ferry vital cargo along microtubule "highways" inside cells. But how these molecular vehicles identify and bind to the right cargo ...

Scientists from Japan reveal the crystal structure of a cell cycle motor protein, which could be a potential anticancer drug candidate Anticancer drugs are pivotal to cancer treatment, but their ...

Microtubules are protein fibers that facilitate the transport of cellular components throughout a cell’s interior. Within a cell, microtubules span from the nucleus to the cell membrane, and the motor ...

Regulation of organelle transport by molecular motors along the cytoskeletal microtubules is central to maintaining cellular functions. Here, we show that the ubiquitous tau-related ...

Screening a library of FDA-approved drugs identifies agents that induce lytic viral infection in EBV-associated tumors ...
