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

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 ...

“We saw real bundles composed of thousands of fascin molecules and hundreds of actin filaments, and we were able to map their spatial positioning,” Gong says. “We saw how the structure of ...

The actin cytoskeleton is composed of a dynamic filament meshwork that builds the architecture of the cell to sustain its fundamental properties. This physical structure is characterized by a ...

The actin cytoskeleton is composed of dynamic filament networks that build adaptable local architectures ... In particular, T cells assemble the immunological synapse (IS), an adhesive structure that ...

“Understanding the structure of filopodia and the changes they undergo may help to refine these therapies or inspire new ones,” said Rui Gong, the study’s first author. Filopodia rely on hexagonal ...

The cosmic superstructure Quipu is more than 13,000 times the length of the Milky Way, and its mass is 200 quadrillion times ...
