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 discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type ...

Distinct steps of the virus life cycle occur in association with the cytoskeleton or cytoplasmic membranes, which are often modified during infection. Plus-stranded RNA viruses induce membrane ...

The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous and tubular protein structures that support cell shape, intracellular compartmentalisation and trafficking, cell migration and cell division.

Our findings provide significant insights into the mechanisms underlying cytoskeletal regulation of cell shape determination. Within a cell, a structure called the cytoskeleton provides a scaffold ...
