The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type ...

Check out the photograph that won a pair of MCG researchers the Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition.

Similarly to mice that lack other regulators of the cytoskeleton, HEM1-deficient T cells showed decreased activation and proliferation compared with wild-type T cells. Surprisingly, some T-cell ...

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 ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...

The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous and tubular protein structures that support cell shape, intracellular compartmentalisation and trafficking, cell migration and cell division.

Rho GTPases are molecular switches that control the cytoskeleton. The spreading of cancer cells from one part of the body to another, called metastasis, is one of the main causes of cancer death. To ...
