Herein, we determine conditions for increased vs decreased efficiency of a helical flagellum rotating in shear-thinning vs non-shear-thinning fluids. We show that, for high elasticity and low shear ...

The term "alert and oriented" (AO) is a medical notation describing a person's level of consciousness and cognition (the ability to understand and learn through thought, experiences, and the senses).

The kinetochore, a complex protein machine that assembles on the centromere, forms a localized, high-affinity site for the attachment of spindle microtubules to chromosomes. At least three ...

However, the direct effects of SSNA1 on microtubules are not known. We employed in vitro reconstitution with purified proteins and TIRF microscopy to investigate the activity of human SSNA1 on dynamic ...

Microtubules are cytoskeletal structures involved in stability ... These interactions contribute to the stability of the doublet and hence, normal ciliary motility. Cilia and flagella are highly ...
