An electric molecular motor. [PDF]
Nature, 2023 AbstractMacroscopic electric motors continue to have a large impact on almost every aspect of modern society. Consequently, the effort towards developing molecular motors1–3 that can be driven by electricity could not be more timely. Here we describe an electric molecular motor based on a [3]catenane4,5, in which two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene)6 ...

Non-ciliary Roles of IFT Proteins in Cell Division and Polycystic Kidney Diseases
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Cilia are small organelles present at the surface of most differentiated cells where they act as sensors for mechanical or biochemical stimuli. Cilia assembly and function require the Intraflagellar Transport (IFT) machinery, an intracellular transport ...
