This study links RhoA/ROCK pathway activity to nanoscale sensing, showing how cytoskeletal tension modulates cell ...

The movement of epithelial cells during wound healing is mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum, which senses the curvature of wound gaps.

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new ...

Cytoskeletal active matter describes novel synthetic materials made up of mixtures of cytoskeletal filaments and molecular motors. By consuming chemical fuel, the molecular motors can bind to and ...

To investigate the effects of Rho GTPase inactivation on lens fiber cell cytoskeletal and morphological integrity, a transgenic mouse model expressing C3-exoenzyme (a bacterial toxin) in a lens ...

Cytoskeletal Highways Even cellular components need good roads to travel along. This image shows key components of the cytoskeletal road map labeled in red, blue, and green.

Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies.

This suggests that prior to the evolution of land plants, a dynamic, cortical cytoskeletal array similar to a pre-prophase band had evolved in the charophytes. However, an interesting variation on the ...

By using indirect immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy, we documented changes in the distribution of elongation factor-1α (EF-1α), actin, and microtubules during the development of maize ...
