A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever ...

For example, humans alone have over 20 different kinds of integrins. Integrins link the actin cytoskeleton of a cell to various external structures. The cytoplasmic portion of each integrin ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

a protein that cells use to build an intracellular cytoskeleton to aid cell motility, division, and other important processes. Intrigued, Tilney took on the project, and together the pair showed that ...

Cleaving hundreds of different kinds of proteins within a cell, these enzymes wreak havoc on the genome, attack structural proteins composing the cell’s organelles, and dismantle the cytoskeleton, ...

Our skin and mucous membranes protect us like vigilant sentinels against the onslaught of harmful pathogens. This extraordinary defense owes its strength to epithelial cells—specialized tissues woven ...
