The cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding system whose functions include maintenance of cellular shape, enabling cellular migration, division, intracellular transport, signaling and membrane ...

We demonstrated for the first time that Hv1 is present and functional on endosomes. Additionally, Hv1 controlled actin cytoskeleton function via a protein called CapZ. The actin cytoskeleton was also ...

A new systems-level study in 3D lung adenocarcinoma models shows that nutrient availability drives tumour cells into two ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. Their work appears in the study, ...

Almost all mammalian cell types have morphologies that are uniquely tailored to their physiological functions. This immense variation in cell shape depends on an underlying network of dynamic and ...

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 ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...

SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell. When researchers discovered that SETD2 is mutated ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a cytoskeleton which provides the structure for mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. The skeleton is necessary for the function of the ...

Bacteria and archaea use protein filament systems to organize cellular processes in time and space. Filaments can act as static scaffolds or as dynamic motors. In some cases, these filament systems ...

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 ...

Proteomics Approaches to Analysis of the Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Cytoskeletal proteins are often identified in many proteomic studies either as contaminants, owing to their very high abundance, ...
