How Brain Stem Cells Coordinate to Produce Neurons
In many vertebrates, brain stem cells produce neurons throughout life. A team of scientists has revealed for the first time the molecular mechanisms by which adult neural stem cells communicate with o...

"But the nightmare result is that non-programmer LLM users will receive something that seems to work, and only reveals its shortcomings much later on"

Kinesin‐Induced Buckling Reveals the Limits of Microtubule Self‐Repair
This study shows that kinesin-driven buckling induces extensive microtubule lattice damage that often exceeds intrinsic self-repair and leads to filament failure. While curvature, motor motility, and...

Despite their high rigidity, microtubules (MTs) dynamically bend and buckle in cells. MT-self repair is inherent to their metastable nature, but it remains unclear whether just inherent repair mechanisms are sufficient to maintain MT integrity🧵 (1/9) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
