The cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding system whose functions include maintenance of cellular shape, enabling cellular migration, division, intracellular transport, signaling and membrane ...

The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F-actin; ...

SETD2, known for its involvement on gene expression, also can affect functions controlled by the cytoskeleton, such as movement, metastasis and migration, which are very important for cancer cells.

For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection ...

Actin filaments (F-actin) are key components of sarcomeres, the basic contractile units of skeletal muscle myofibrils. A crucial step during myofibril differentiation is the sequential exchange of ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

Robert Mauck, PhD, from the University of Pennsylvania, discussed how aging and differentiation alter nuclear mechanobiology at the 2014 American Society of Bone and Mineral Research Conference in ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Recently, three Chenopodiaceae species, Bienertia cycloptera, Bienertia sinuspersici, and Suaeda aralocaspica, were shown to possess novel C₄ ...

A KAIST research team has discovered that the Huntingtin protein originally plays a critical role in constructing the neuronal skeleton under normal conditions. The findings were published in the ...
