Cells exist in three dimensions, and they have a dynamic skeleton and filaments that help them maintain and stabilize their form and structure. The molecules that create the cellular cytoskeleton, ...
Researchers have raised the curtain on how actin maintains just the right filament length to keep the cell healthy and happily dividing. Actin, a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells, is a ...
A new model describes the coordination of beating cilia allowing to predict their functional behavior. Researchers analyzed the formation of metachronal waves in arrays of cilia and how external cues ...

Actin, a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells, is a workhorse that varies remarkably little from baker’s yeast to the human body. Part of the cytoskeleton, actin assembles into networks of ...
Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...
New research by University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists reveals how a cellular filament helps neural stem cells clear damaged and clumped proteins, an important step in eventually producing new ...
