The UB team that discovered how a gene found in 75% of us protects against neurodegeneration has now found that this same ...

The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F ...

Cells get their structure and stability from their cytoskeleton, a crosslinked framework of proteins that encases and ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major ...

Researchers at the Universities of Göttingen and Warwick investigated the structure and mechanics of the main component of the cytoskeleton of the cell: a protein known as actin. Artificial cells ...

Actin is a highly abundant protein that controls the shape and movement of all our cells. Actin achieves this by assembling ...

Cells constantly navigate a dynamic environment, facing ever-changing conditions and challenges. But how do cells swiftly adapt to these environmental fluctuations? A new study is answering that ...

A new study details how a daily dose could prevent or delay the progression of the world’s third most common type of cancer.
