The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. The cytoskeleton can be compared to a transport network facilitating various types of movement in the ...

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

University of Georgia researchers have found a central switch which controls the movement of cells. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the increased movement of tumor cells and in the ...

A study leads to a better understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in the neurological disorder of mirror movements. A team of Canadian and American scientists has made a promising breakthrough ...

Two roles of the actin cytoskeleton in T cell activation Figure 2: Model for actin dynamics in three stages of immunological synapse formation. Following antigen receptor triggering, it is clear that ...
