For example, the atomic structures of actin ... post-docs and other cell-biology researchers who study the cytoskeleton. Being a cell biologist who appreciates quantitative physical descriptions ...

Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function throughout interphase and is essential as the cell progresses through the cell cycle. To support students’ understanding of the cytoskeleton, a ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made ... providing strength and support for the fragile tubulin structures. All cells have intermediate filaments, but the protein subunits of these ...

A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction.

How cells changing their shape or moving orchestrate their cytoskeleton? Cells and tissues are not static structures, but during development they change their size and shape and migrate. Plasticity of ...

Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing ... reverse the transitions of the cytoskeletal structures associated with different stages of cell division outside of a living system.

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions ... To tackle these questions, we use a multidisciplinary approach combining ...

Susan Parkhurst studies the cytoskeleton, the cell’s internal framework. The cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure, constantly forming and breaking down to meet the cell’s changing needs, including ...

The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type ...

Central to the process is the microtubule cytoskeleton ... the transitions of the cytoskeletal structures associated with different stages of cell division outside of a living system.
