This study evaluates the structural organization of the cytoskeleton within unactivated, discoid platelets. Previously, such studies have been difficult to interpret because of the ease with which ...

Cells are characterized to be stable yet highly flexible. They constantly modify their shape and even move through tissue. These vital properties are based on a dynamically organized network of ...

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 -- Researchers around the world now have access to an open-access software designed to further characterize cytoskeleton filaments. Most computational neuroscience software centers ...

(May 8, 2019) - Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Transglutaminases (TGases) are ubiquitous enzymes that take part in a variety of cellular functions. In the pollen tube, cytoplasmic TGases are likely to be involved in the incorporation of primary ...

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 ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

A researcher at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country has participated in the study into the impairment of the dynamics of spines that receive information from other neurons A researcher at the ...
