The cytoskeleton is a permanent construction site consisting of protein filaments that are continually lengthening and shortening in a dynamic process. Through these remodeling processes, the cell ...

However, many artificial cells to date cannot be used to study how cells respond to forces as they don't have a cytoskeleton. TU/e researchers have designed a polymer-based network for artificial ...

Study shows cell's cytoskeleton does more than hold up a cell, it transfers energy by Milady Nazir, University of Texas at San Antonio Could a cell's scaffold lead to dementia?

During cell division, a series of checkpoints make sure that events are proceeding normally. The latest checkpoint to be discovered monitors the actin cytoskeleton, ensuring that it is organized ...

The cell's cytoskeleton, or filaments, are responsible for a cell's shape. They also organize cellular parts and impact a cell's movement and division.

Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness.

UTSA research: Electrical properties of cytoskeleton could contribute to cell degradation (May 8, 2019) – Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart ...

Promising proteomics strategies could augment our understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in the host-defense mechanisms of immune cells.
