A team from Würzburg has fundamentally changed our understanding of platelet biology. The researchers demonstrate that the ...

Platelets are small, anucleate blood cells that play an essential role in hemostasis. Their primary task is to recognize vascular injury, become activated, and aggregate via their surface receptor ...

“Cell migration is required and essential for metazoan development, tissue regeneration and repair, as well as in immune surveillance. Many diseases such as cancer, fibrosis, and inherited ...

Protein evolution occurs slowly via small incremental mutations—usually. However, dramatic changes can happen: for instance, a fragment of one protein getting copied into the middle of another. While ...

“Focus has been on how cells become mechanosensitive, how cell adhesion became mechanosensitive through the recruitment of mechanosensitive proteins like talin, vinculin, and also other proteins,” ...
