To support students’ understanding of the cytoskeleton, a simple model using pop beads, stacking bricks, or small squares of paper could be used (each bead or brick representing a monomer of the ...

Images of an anaphase cytoskeleton in a dividing cell (left ... some of the changes come down to a surprisingly simple and elegant system – the flip of a molecular switch.

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major ...

Similarly to mice that lack other regulators of the cytoskeleton, HEM1-deficient T cells showed decreased activation and proliferation compared with wild-type T cells. Surprisingly, some T-cell ...
