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 ...

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

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

The Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Immune cells carry out specific effector functions related to the host response to infection and inflammation. Efficient accomplishment of these functions requires ...

The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of actin protein, called filamentous or F-actin.

Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies.
