The actin cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining the shape of cells and enabling motility, and plays critical roles in tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Until now it remained unclear whether ...

Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments ... processing of this information using neural network-based algorithms can reveal large molecules in action and how they work." ...

The development of many major organs including the heart and the neural tube (which ... protein scaffolding called the 'actin cytoskeleton' — which gives its cells a shape to cling to and ...

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

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...

The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of actin protein, called filamentous or F-actin. It forms ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...
