The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. The cytoskeleton can be compared to a transport network facilitating various types of movement in the ...

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; ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

University of Georgia researchers have found a central switch which controls the movement of cells. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the increased movement of tumor cells and in the ...

A study leads to a better understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in the neurological disorder of mirror movements. A team of Canadian and American scientists has made a promising breakthrough ...
