Numerous physiological and pathological stimuli promote the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton, thereby modulating cellular motile functions. Although it seems intuitively obvious that cell ...

Actin cytoskeleton remodeling protects tumor cells against immune attack Scientists discover a fundamental process underlying breast cancer resistance Date: October 23, 2018 Source: Luxembourg ...

By engaging actin regulatory proteins, synaptic activity can remodel both the pre- and the postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton.

Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies.

The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of actin protein, called filamentous or F-actin.

By combining microscopy techniques with genome engineering, scientists revealed the complexities of the presynaptic actin cytoskeleton.

Sunshine on the Cytoskeleton This blazing, writhing orb is the cytoskeleton of a cell. Cells are constantly in flux. The motion in this video is caused by a structural protein called actin, which ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) found that disruption of a cellular structure, known as the actin cytoskeleton, is a "priming signal" for the body ...

Marcelo Marucho, an associate professor in the UTSA Department of Physics and Astronomy, studies, in particular, the cytoskeleton’s actin filaments and microtubules for the past 4 years. He works to ...

The assembly and disassembly of actin filaments are processes regulated by a large number of actin-interacting proteins, and maintenance of the actin cytoskeleton is “highly susceptible to ...

All the latest science news on cytoskeleton from Phys.org. Find the latest news, advancements, and breakthroughs.

This new study revealed that, in glucose-starved SLC7A11-high cancer cells, the large number of accumulated disulfide molecules cause aberrant disulfide bonding among actin cytoskeleton proteins ...
