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 ...

The gradient nanopattern surface-induced cardiomyocytes had cardiac sarcomeres with mature cardiac gene expression. We observed Vinculin and p-Cofilin-mediated cytoskeleton reorganization during this ...

The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F ...

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) stimulation has been reported to increase in vitro wound healing by about a factor of 2, which is a promising observation in the field of biophysics. However, its ...

These includes compelling evidence that the podocyte is directly affected in diabetic nephropathy with early podocyte loss and that alterations in its actin cytoskeleton are associated with ...

A: GLUT4 immunofluorescence (green) and phalloidin staining of the actin cytoskeleton (red) of insulin-treated podocytes. a: Intact cytoskeleton. b: Cytochalasin D disrupted cytoskeleton.

The assembly of the magnetosome chain involves an acidic protein that links the magnetosomes to an actin-like cytoskeleton (reviewed by Schuller 2008). Acidocalcisomes are acidic calcium storage ...
