An RNAi based genetic screen and subsequent analyses reveal how dyneins and small GTPases coordinate autophagosome positioning at the ncMTOC in fat cells, advancing understanding of autophagic vesicle ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Researchers using an extremely fast and accurate imaging technique have shed light on the tiny movements of molecular motors that shuttle material within living cells. The motors ...

Bidirectional vesicle transport along microtubules is necessary for cell viability and function, particularly in neurons. When multiple motors are attached to a vesicle, the distance a vesicle travels ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine have identified the motors that move non-infectious prion proteins (PrPC) – found within many mammalian cells – up and down ...
