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 ...

(A, B) Neurons are specialized eukaryotic cells that extend long processes to form connections in the nervous system. Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of ...

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 ...

In particular, our investigations are based on understanding the cytoskeletal targets for enzymatic activity of chromatin modifiers, how these enzymes mechanistically differentiate between their ...
