Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The University of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Recently, three Chenopodiaceae species, Bienertia cycloptera, Bienertia sinuspersici, and Suaeda aralocaspica, were shown to possess novel C₄ ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...

Although Al is one of the major factors limiting crop production, the mechanisms of toxicity remain unknown. The growth inhibition and swelling of roots associated with Al exposure suggest that the ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Recent research has shown that the two main components of the cytoskeleton, actin and microtubules, monitor each others' presence and are coordinately regulated. For example, microtubules, although ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like ...

Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other functions. Microtubules are important parts of the cytoskeleton, and new ...

Many amphibians and fish are able to change their color in order to better adapt to their environment. Scientists have now investigated the molecular mechanisms in the cytoskeleton necessary for this ...
