Techniques such as RNA interference suppression and disruption of CBP–cytoskeleton interaction by site-directed mutagenesis should be carried out in order to investigate the significance of newly ...

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

Bacteria and archaea use protein filament systems to organize cellular processes in time and space. Filaments can act as static scaffolds or as dynamic motors. In some cases, these filament systems ...

The cytoskeleton is far more than just a static scaffold; it's a dynamic and adaptable network that provides structural ...

The study of pathways that trigger apoptosis and ageing is crucial for increasing our understanding of these fundamental processes. Whereas apoptosis is probably triggered by a range of both ...

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 ...

Using only a few ingredients, a biophysicist and his team have successfully implemented a minimalistic model of the cell that can change its shape and move on its own. They describe how they turned ...

Baluška F, Barlow PW, Volkmann D (2000a) Actin and myosin VIII in developing root cells. In CJ Staiger, F Baluska, D Volkmann, PW Barlow, eds, Actin: A Dynamic Framework for Multiple Plant Cell ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proteomics Approaches to Analysis of the Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Cytoskeletal proteins are often identified in many proteomic studies either as contaminants, owing to their very high abundance, ...
