Previous models of membrane structure have depicted adhesion as discrete membrane protein–cytoskeleton bonds that are discontinuously spaced on a scale larger than tethers and presumably have ...

Caltech researchers demonstrated a new method to use light to control active matter—a kind of material made up of individual ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

MHH research team disables tumour cells with synthetic Adhibin and prevents migration and attachment to other cells ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...

Interactions between microtubules and regulatory proteins could hold the answer ... “and that’s controlled by the cytoskeleton.” ...

We investigated the role of β-actin, as well as its potential modulatory protein activity-regulated cytoskeletal-associated protein (Arc/Arg3.1) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), in ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.
