Cytoskeletal proteins move to different areas of a cell in response to the different forces created by suctioning with a thin glass tube.

Actin is a cytoskeletal protein involved in multiple cellular ... “Actin is the most abundant protein in the cell, so when you image it, it’s all over the cell,” stated Manor. From ...

Researchers in the Cellular and Molecular Synaptic Function Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have elucidated the roles of cytoskeletal proteins at ...

Cell architecture: Finding common ground Date: October 16, 2014 Source: Carnegie Institution Summary: When it comes to cellular architecture, function follows form.

Their work, published in Nature Communications, reveals a mechanism of interdependence of different forms of the cytoskeletal proteins actin and myosin, and their functions.

An emerging problem in cytoskeletal modeling and simulation is spatiotemporal alteration of the dynamics of filaments, motors, and associated proteins. This can occur due to motor crowding, obstacles ...

Dynein, one of three cytoskeletal motor protein families, was first identified a half century ago and got its name after the ‘dyne’ (i.e. a unit of force).

Among these, defects in the cytoskeletal proteins dystrophin, 4 desmin, 5,6 and tafazzin 7,8 produce both myocardial and skeletal-muscle dysfunction, whereas lamin A/C mutations 9 cause ...
