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.

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major ...

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division.

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 ...

The cytoskeleton is an essential structural component in cells that gives them stability, shape, and mobility. The research ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...

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, ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have uncovered new insights into how intercellular "glue" functions to enable ...

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