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 efficiently ...

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.

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

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 ...

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 ...

Approximately 15% of the proteins produced in our bodies are destined for the surface of our cells. Remarkably, these surface proteins, along with the lipids forming the membrane, undergo rapid ...
