Left: depolymerized actin filaments; right: one hour after treatment to induce repolymerization. More cells presented repolymerized actin filaments in the control group compared with the ASD ...

Developing tissues require cells to undergo intricate processes to shift into appropriate niches. This requires a functional connection between adhesion-mediating events at the cell surface and a cyto ...

Recent advances in cellular biology have underscored the central role of the actin cytoskeleton in the regulation of oocyte maturation and fertilisation. Actin filament rearrangements not only ...

SETD2 is a protein well known as a chromatin remodeler, one that helps turn genes on or off by modifying histone proteins in the nucleus of the cell. When researchers discovered that SETD2 is mutated ...

Researchers have developed photoresponsive derivatives of the anticancer drug Taxol®, which allow light-based control of cytoskeleton dynamics in neurons. The agents can optically pattern cell ...

A researcher has participated in a study describing what it is during the early stages of Alzheimer's that triggers the loss of dynamics and subsequent impairment of the dendritic spines, the ...

Many aspects of plant development, including patterning and tropisms, are largely dependent on the asymmetric distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin. Auxin transport inhibitors (ATIs), ...

The spatiotemporal balance of surface proteins such as receptors, transporters and adhesion molecules is essential for cellular and tissue homeostasis. One key process to maintain this balance is ...
