This study highlights the importance of proteins that are involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, revealing fundamental roles for HEM1 in both innate and adaptive immune cells.

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

An international research collaboration has uncovered a new mechanism of the crosstalk between microtubules and actin cytoskeleton during cell division and revealed unique characteristics of the ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of ... nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.
