Freeze-tolerant crickets fortify their actin cytoskeleton in fat body tissue
1 1
Animals that overwinter in temperate climates must prevent or repair damage to their cells to survive winter, but we know little about how they protect cellular structure at the cytoskeletal level. Both chilling (no ice formation) and freezing (ice formation) are hypothesized to cause...

Laminin β4 is required for the development of human peripheral sensory neurons
1 1
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a mixture of glycoproteins and fibrous proteins that provide the biophysical properties necessary to maintain cellular homeostasis. ECM integrity is of particular importance during development, where it allows proper migration and cellular differentiation....
