The chirality of tissues and organs is essential for their proper function and development. Tissue-level chirality derives from the chirality of individual cells that comprise the tissue, and cellular ...

Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered ...

A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has uncovered a key mechanism that helps shape how our brains are wired, and what can ...

“The filaments, F-Actin and microtubules, are able to propagate electrical impulses inside neurons. This property is something that scientists generally haven’t considered.” The cell’s cytoskeleton, ...

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.

“The actin cytoskeleton dictates the shape and polarity of a cell and is essential in numerous and diverse fundamental processes including cellular division, motility, phagocytosis, organelle ...

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

Actin cytoskeleton morphology is able to affect and reflect the cellular mechanical properties. However, due to the lack of efficient approaches to quantifying actin cytoskeleton and mechanical ...

The study reveals 44 differentially expressed proteins in cleft palate models, shedding light on molecular mechanisms and ...

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 ...
