Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells ...

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

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Structures inside cells influence everything from individual cell movement to an organism’s metabolism. They include the cytoskeleton, a dynamic internal protein network that gives cells their shape ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions ... approach combining state-of-the-art techniques in cell biology, biochemistry ...

Mark Groudine Chair for Outstanding Achievements in Science and Service, Fred Hutch Mark Groudine Chair for Outstanding Achievements in Science and Service Fred Hutch Dr. Susan Parkhurst studies the ...

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...

We have 3 major areas of research; 1) alterations to the skeleton within host cells (the cytoskeleton), 2) strategies bacteria use to gain entry to their host cells and spread from one cell to another ...

For this, he uses a soft substrate and high-resolution live-cell fluorescence microscopy and develops novel force reconstruction technique, image modeling and machine learning technique to probe ...
