Prognostic significance of CKAP2L expression in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 Background: Cytoskeleton-associated protein 2-like protein (CKAP2L) is thought to promote the progression of glioma, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. However, the role of cytoskeleton-associated protein 2-like protein in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

Spatial Organization of the Cytoskeleton enhances Cargo Delivery to Specific Target Areas on the Plasma Membrane of Spherical Cells [PDF]
, 2016 Intracellular transport is vital for the proper functioning and survival of a cell. Cargo (proteins, vesicles, organelles, etc.) is transferred from its place of creation to its target locations via molecular motor assisted transport along cytoskeletal ...

DNA damage and repair: underlying mechanisms leading to microcephaly
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 DNA-damaging agents and endogenous DNA damage constantly harm genome integrity. Under genotoxic stress conditions, the DNA damage response (DDR) machinery is crucial in repairing lesions and preventing mutations in the basic structure of the DNA ...

Phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate turnover by INP51 regulates the cell wall integrity pathway in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" [PDF]
, 2004 Signal transduction pathways are important for the cell to transduce external or internal stimuli where second messengers play an important role as mediators of the stimuli. One important group of second messengers are the phosphoinositide family present
