Actin Strengthens the Effect of Sex Hormones
Steroid hormones act by binding to receptor molecules that switch on and off the activity of hormone-dependent genes. Researchers at the University of Freiburg and Kiel University Hospital have discovered that components of the cytoskeleton are critically involved in this process.

Cones Affected by Retinal Degeneration May Not Actually Be Dormant
New murine research suggests that “dormant” cone photoreceptors in the degenerating retina continue to function, producing responses to light and driving retinal activity for vision.
