The unique morphology and function of axons are sustained by the organization of the key elements of their cytoskeleton: microtubules, neurofilaments and actin. Classical methods (electron microscopy ...

Cells have an internal skeleton that maintains their structure and also drives their movement. Known as the cytoskeleton, ...

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 ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The marginal band (MB) of nucleated erythrocytes is composed of a bundle of microtubules that encircles the cell immediately beneath the ...

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 ...
