The deep learning-based segmentation method, applied to confocal microscopy images of cortical microtubules in tobacco BY-2 cells, significantly improves density measurement accuracy compared to ...

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 ...

SETD2, known for its involvement on gene expression, also can affect functions controlled by the cytoskeleton, such as movement, metastasis and migration, which are very important for cancer cells.

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The cytoskeleton of early, non-cellularized Drosophila embryos has been examined by indirect immunofluorescence techniques, using whole mounts ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
