The leukocyte cytoskeleton is required to carry out dynamic immune functions. The same basic mechanisms underlie actin regulation during cell migration and effector functions, and extracellular ...

A researcher has participated in a study describing what it is during the early stages of Alzheimer's that triggers the loss of dynamics and subsequent impairment of the dendritic spines, the ...

The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic network made up of actin polymers and associated actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton was originally isolated as a component of the actomyosin complex in ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. Their work appears in the study, ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

The rearrangement of the cell´s inner scaffold, the cytoskeleton, is a vital process for immune cells. In a new collaborative study, a rare inherited disease revealed a hitherto unknown role of a ...

The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. The cytoskeleton can be compared to a transport network facilitating various types of movement in the ...

Why do some children develop a brain that is too small (microcephaly)? An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover Medical ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS). This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell ...
