Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies.

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 ...

Recently, a research group led by Prof. Miao Wei from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

Extracellular matrix labeled infographic vector illustration scheme. Biological diagram with collagen fiber, fibronectin, phospholipid bilayer and cytoskeleton filaments. Red blood cell membrane ...

Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments, called the microtubule cytoskeleton, helps maintain the cell's shape, allows ...

We recently discovered that these structures are essential for the establishment of reticular adhesions. In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin ...

The development of a polarized neuron relies on the selective transport of proteins to axons and dendrites. Although it is well known that the microtubule cytoskeleton has a central role in ...

A study leads to a better understanding of the role of the cytoskeleton in the neurological disorder of mirror movements.

Utilizing a set of live-cell, single-molecule, and super-resolution microscopy tools, here we show that in mammalian cells, the assembly and disassembly of the vimentin cytoskeleton is highly ...

jawillms{at}umich.edu Arginine induced acute pancreatitis was evaluated as a novel and distinct form of experimental pancreatitis with particular attention to the actin cytoskeleton and expression of ...
