Microtubules emanate from the axon, and actin-filament networks form sheet-like structures and filopodial protrusions at the leading edge. Scale bar, 20 μm. (C) The neuronal axon is a long ...
This is a great time to introduce the three categories of cytoskeletal components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function ...
Cytoskeletal active matter describes novel synthetic materials made up of mixtures of cytoskeletal filaments and molecular motors. By consuming chemical fuel, the molecular motors can bind to and ...
My main research interests are functional and structural analyses by 3-D cryo-electron microscopy of cytoskeletal assemblies and large macromolecular structures as well as cellular organelles. We ...
