The cytoskeleton serves as the structural framework of the cell, providing support, shape, and organization to cellular machinery. Composed of three classical cytoskeletal filament types, including ...

What a difference a few decades makes! Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, our knowledge of the plant cytoskeleton relied almost entirely on basic — sometimes brute-force — biochemistry of isolated ...

Enrique M. De La Cruz, an international leader in molecular motor proteins and the cytoskeleton, was recently appointed the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, ...

Bethesda, MD – When the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes invades the body, it commandeers its host cell's actin cytoskeleton to invade other cells. In a report published in the Journal of Biological ...

A microscopic image shows small red centers connected by networks of branched and straight filaments. The team mixed purified actin monomers with precise concentrations of two nucleation-promoting ...
