The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F-actin; ...

A study leads to a better understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in the neurological disorder of mirror movements. A team of Canadian and American scientists has made a promising breakthrough ...

University of Georgia researchers have found a central switch which controls the movement of cells. The misregulation of this switch may play a role in the increased movement of tumor cells and in the ...

Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms of cytoskeletal proteins. For example, the atomic structures of actin, ...
