Regarding this situation, Akihiro Kusumi has proposed that the functions of the plasma membrane are regulated by the cytoskeleton, upon part of which the plasma membrane rests. Not only does the ...

We estimated the on- and off-rates, the number of working filaments and the force per filament from the magnitude and time course of the membrane force (Integr. Biol., 2013, 5, 204). We are developing ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made ... Microtubules tend to grow out from the centrosome to the plasma membrane. In nondividing cells, microtubule networks radiate out from the ...

Remarkably, these surface proteins, along with the lipids forming the membrane, undergo rapid recycling ... In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin ...

A study conducted at the Center for Research on Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) helps understand how high blood sugar (hyperglycemia), one of the manifestations of diabetes, can cause ...

Adhesion junction is crucial for the stability of the epithelial lateral membrane and the maintenance ... connecting adhesion molecules to the cytoskeleton. In addition, E-cadherin can also ...
