Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

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 before.

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Researchers have visualized at the molecular level how formins bind to the ends of actin filaments. This allowed them to uncover how formins mediate the addition of new actin molecules to a growing ...

Lasker and her team identified the hidden architecture of biomolecular condensates, which are made up of an intricate network of filaments. LA JOLLA, CA— Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to ...

Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...

All humans who have ever lived were once each an individual cell, which then divided countless times to produce a body made up of about 10 trillion cells. These cells have busy lives, executing all ...

In a groundbreaking study published today in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers from Queen Mary University of London and the University of Dundee have ...
