The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of tubulin, termed the “tubulin code”, play important roles in regulating microtubule functions within subcellular compartments for specialized cellular ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

The dynamics of cellular membrane tension and its role in mechanosensing, which is the ability of cells to respond to physical stimuli, remain incompletely understood, mainly due to the lack of ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can influence ...

A defining characteristic of all cells is the plasma membrane, a thin layer of lipids that separates the interior of the cell from the outside environment. The plasma membrane is supported by the ...

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division. To ...

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 ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome segregation, a process that depends on the coordinated remodeling of the ...
