Magnetism offers extremely promising perspectives in biology, particularly in mechanobiology and for various biomedical ...

Espin induces abundant filopodia formation at the leading edge and along the sides, exerting force for cells migrating in ...

Cell polarity is the asymmetric organisation of several cellular components, including its plasma membrane, cytoskeleton or organelles. This asymmetry can be used for specialised functions ...

GAS2 is a cytoskeletal regulator that interacts with both F-actin and microtubules. Here, cryo-EM structures of GAS2 domains ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Asgard archaea may have led to the evolution of eukaryotic life ETH Zurich researchers identify actin and microtubule structures Findings challenge the three-domain model of life classification ...

We can manipulate the actin cytoskeleton to investigate this, using fluorescence microscopy to focus on the cortical cytoskeleton. My research is focused on this cortical actin, so a confocal ...

Every behavior of a cell, whether maintaining a specific shape, moving in a certain direction, producing mechanical force, or just staying “still” within a tissue, depends on the actin cytoskeleton, a ...

Unlike actin, tubulin proteins only appear in very ... The researchers are confident that the cytoskeleton was an important step in the evolution of eukaryotes. "This remarkable cytoskeleton ...

In addition to actin filaments, eukaryotes also possess microtubules. These tube-shaped structures are the second key component of the cytoskeleton and are comprised of numerous tubulin proteins.
