Protocadherins, a subfamily within the cadherin superfamily, are fundamental to the precise organisation of neural circuits. They contribute to cell adhesion mechanisms that underlie synaptic ...

Exosome-associated THSD7A is identified as a key trigger of filopodia formation in cancer cells and neurons, revealing a ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

Pathogens can create sticky situations. When microbes invade the body to cause an infection, often one of their first lines of attack is to cling ...
