Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The ...

ROCKVILLE, MD – The Biophysical Society is pleased to announce that Hugo Lachuer, PhD, of the Institut Jacques Monod (CNRS) and Nadab Wubshet, PhD, of the University of Michigan and Harvard ...

eLife assessment How secretion is regulated during cell division and how membrane trafficking factors cooperate with the cytoskeleton during cell division remain poorly understood. In this work the ...

By performing spatiotemporal analysis of stimulus-evoked exocytosis in insulin-secreting INS-1 cells, we statistically prove that individual vesicle fusion events are clustered at hotspots. This ...

Not only platelets but also ECs circulate to a small amount in peripheral blood (Lin et al., 2000). ECs and platelets rearrange their cytoskeleton to promote changes in cell shape. They have the ...

Various cellular processes underlying plant development and response to environmental cues rely on a dynamic interplay between membranes and the cytoskeleton, e.g. vesicle and organelle trafficking, ...

The cytoskeleton is a permanent construction site consisting of protein filaments that are continually lengthening and shortening in a dynamic process. Through these remodeling processes, the cell ...

The cell's cytoskeleton, or filaments, are responsible for a cell's shape. They also organize cellular parts and impact a cell's movement and division.

The cell's cytoskeleton, or filaments, are responsible for a cell's shape. They also organize cellular parts and impact a cell's movement and division.

The role played by the actin cytoskeleton of these compartments and how it responds in the presence of beta-amyloid peptides, the component most commonly associated with Alzheimer's, have been ...

The Cytoskeleton and Cancer Progression research group, led by Dr. Clément Thomas, focuses in particular on the actin cytoskeleton and related signaling pathways in the context of breast cancer.
