A model for the contractility of cells is presented that accounts for the dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton. It is motivated by three key biochemical processes: (i) an activation signal that ...

The cell's cytoskeleton, or filaments, are responsible for a cell's shape. They also organize cellular parts and impact a cell's movement and division.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a cytoskeleton which provides the structure for mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. The skeleton is necessary for the function of ...

This property is something that scientists generally haven’t considered.” The cell’s cytoskeleton, or filaments, are responsible for a cell’s shape. They also organize cellular parts and impact a cell ...
