Now the team has found that the gene's activation of actin cytoskeleton also enhances immune function. "Our research shows ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic ... strong and ropelike. Their functions are primarily mechanical and, as a class, intermediate filaments are less dynamic than actin filaments or microtubules.

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

Actin filaments are composed of two intertwined ... proteome can vastly contribute to our understanding of cytoskeleton composition, function, regulation and dynamics. The opportunity to use ...

Integrins link the actin cytoskeleton of a cell to various external ... epithelial cells are diverse in their protein makeup and function. The adhesive transmembrane proteins anchoring these ...

In the cytoplasm, actin has a well-established role as a component of the cytoskeleton, and plays important roles ... such as transcription factor regulation, RNA polymerase function and chromatin ...

and genetic approaches to uncover the general principles underlying regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and to reveal how defects in actin dynamics affect the physiological functions of cells.

This surprising increase in longevity may be due to an increase in stress resilience and altered function of several cellular ...

Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

A degree of cytoskeleton enrichment should be established in each study by determining the ratio of actin, tubulin or other ... is involved in all main functions of immune cells related to the ...
