The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F-actin; ...
The cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding system whose functions include maintenance of cellular shape, enabling cellular migration, division, intracellular transport, signaling and membrane ...
Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be ...
SETD2, known for its involvement on gene expression, also can affect functions controlled by the cytoskeleton, such as movement, metastasis and migration, which are very important for cancer cells.
Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...
It forms networks of thin, flexible filaments that affect the shape, stiffness, and movement of cells. Studies have found that aging alters actin expression, disrupting the cytoskeleton’s functions, ...
Actin filaments (F-actin) are key components of sarcomeres, the basic contractile units of skeletal muscle myofibrils. A crucial step during myofibril differentiation is the sequential exchange of ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Recently, three Chenopodiaceae species, Bienertia cycloptera, Bienertia sinuspersici, and Suaeda aralocaspica, were shown to possess novel C₄ ...
In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...
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 ...
Robert Mauck, PhD, from the University of Pennsylvania, discussed how aging and differentiation alter nuclear mechanobiology at the 2014 American Society of Bone and Mineral Research Conference in ...
