Left: depolymerized actin filaments; right: one hour after treatment to induce repolymerization. More cells presented repolymerized actin filaments in the control group compared with the ASD ...

Developing tissues require cells to undergo intricate processes to shift into appropriate niches. This requires a functional connection between adhesion-mediating events at the cell surface and a cyto ...

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

Recent advances in cellular biology have underscored the central role of the actin cytoskeleton in the regulation of oocyte maturation and fertilisation. Actin filament rearrangements not only ...

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, ...

The Zika virus taking hold of the inner organelles of human liver and neural stem cells has been captured via light and electron microscopy. Researchers now show how the African and Asian strains of ...

Mitochondria have traditionally been viewed as energy-generating organelles, through oxidation of metabolic substrates and creation of a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM), ...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers have developed photoresponsive derivatives of the anticancer drug Taxol®, which allow light-based control of cytoskeleton dynamics in ...

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 ...

SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell. When researchers discovered that SETD2 is mutated ...

José Martínez-Hernández, an Ikerbasque researcher in the Neuronal Ubiquitin Pathways group in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of the UPV/EHU's Faculty of Science and Technology, ...
