Special adaptor proteins then connect the resulting assembly to the cytoskeleton of each cell. The many connections formed between junctions and cytoskeletal proteins effectively produces a ...

For years, Dan Nicolau Sr., head of bioengineering at McGill University in Montreal, has studied the movement of cytoskeletal proteins, which help give cells their structure. Around 2002 ...

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments that ... hundreds of confocal microscopy images, the team achieved a system capable of distinguishing cytoskeletal structures with high accuracy.
