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 ...

The mechanism by which these polarized proteins direct cell migration is not understood, but we imagine that localized proteins, such as Bazooka and myosin II, ultimately lead to differential ...

The artificial cytoskeleton developed in this study mimics natural functions, enhancing mechanical stability and membrane ...

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 ...

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 ...
