A non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 genetic variant is associated with graft failure following kidney transplantation [PDF]
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2023 Background Despite current matching efforts to identify optimal donor-recipient pairs for kidney transplantation, alloimmunity remains a major source of late transplant failure. Additional genetic parameters in donor-recipient matching could help improve

Molecular Motors–Nature’s Efficiency at Work
Reports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2022 Nature has generated sophisticated and very efficient molecular motors, employed for nanoscale transport at the intracellular level. As a complementary tool to nanofluidics, these motors have been envisioned for nanotechnological devices.

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Molecular motor proteins are an extremely important component of the cellular transport system that harness chemical energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to carry out directed mechanical motion inside the cells. Transport properties of these motors such as

Pharmacologically targeting molecular motor promotes mitochondrial fission for anti-cancer
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021 Mitochondrial shape rapidly changes by dynamic balance of fusion and fission to adjust to constantly changing energy demands of cancer cells. Mitochondrial dynamics balance is exactly regulated by molecular motor consisted of myosin and actin ...

Oscillatory movement of a dynein-microtubule complex crosslinked with DNA origami
eLife, 2022 Bending of cilia and flagella occurs when axonemal dynein molecules on one side of the axoneme produce force and move toward the microtubule (MT) minus end.

Life without double-headed non-muscle myosin II motor proteins
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2014 Non-muscle myosin II motor proteins (myosin IIA, myosin IIB, and myosin IIC) belong to a class of molecular motor proteins that are known to transduce cellular free-energy into biological work more efficiently than man-made combustion engines. Nature has
