The ability of bacteria to control the biophysical properties of their membrane phospholipids allows them to thrive in a wide range of physical environments. Fatty acid biosynthesis is an energy ...

Given their non-migratory nature within the mineralized matrix, their unique dendrites are crucial for cell-to-cell communication in response to both intracellular and extracellular stimuli, such as ...

Cell adhesion and cell cortex contractility are important determinants of the morphogenetic properties of solid tissues, ...

Membrane trafficking is the process by which ... Here, the authors develop a biomimetic model of dividing cells to characterize the cytoskeleton’s mechanical power prior to division.

The researchers then investigated whether cytoskeleton reorganization affected cell membrane stiffness, since substrate stiffness increases platelet adhesion. Using atomic force microscopy ...

Although each organelle has a different function, they are similar in that every one is wrapped up in a membrane. Membrane-bound organelles were the textbook standard of how scientists thought ...

This will extend the usefulness of our antibiotics. Anne also works to improve science teaching. The molecular chaperone CCT and the cytoskeleton: understanding the interplay between the folding of ...

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 ...

"We were inspired by several models of the dynamics between the internal cytoskeleton of a red blood cell, the cell membrane, and the environment," explained Nicoletti. "By studying these models ...
