(A, B) Neurons are specialized eukaryotic cells that extend long processes to form connections in the nervous system. Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of ...

Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms of cytoskeletal proteins. For example, the atomic structures of actin ...

Weinberg, Eli J. and Kaazempur Mofrad, Mohammad Reza 2007. Transient, Three-dimensional, Multiscale Simulations of the Human Aortic Valve. Cardiovascular Engineering ...

The binding of endosomes to the cytoskeletal protein called actin, which is believed to generate these fluctuating forces, ...

Both have sophisticated cytoskeletal membrane trafficking machineries that aid in this secretory process while ensuring the maintenance of apical and basolateral membrane domains. Unfortunately, these ...

The effects of quantum mechanics—the laws of physics that apply at exceedingly small scales—are extremely sensitive to ...

Large quantum optical networks of tryptophan in protein architectures – the kinds found in mammalian brains, but also in all eukaryotes and even in some bacteria – influence their collective response ...

The Derr lab pursues the biophysical and cell biological mechanisms of the cytoskeletal molecular motors dynein and kinesin. The group studies these molecular machines in two ways: 1) at the level of ...

DNA-based mimicks of cytoskeletal filaments for reversible assembly and cargo transport. (Image: University of Stuttgart and Max-Planck-Institute for Medical Research) Anti-counterfeiting with DNA ...

This is, amongst other things, due to structural changes in the internal supporting and organisational structures of the cells, the cytoskeletal elements. In order to better understand the dynamic ...
