A living cell is a bustling metropolis, with countless molecules and proteins navigating crowded spaces in every direction.

A study shows how scientists can control cell division on demand outside of a living system. The work is a significant leap forward that can enhance our grasp of human biology and disease.

Proteomics Approaches to Analysis of the Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Cytoskeletal proteins are often identified in many proteomic studies either as contaminants, owing to their very high ...

To effectively adapt to change, living organisms rely on their ability to rapidly detect and process sensory information in ...

which highlighted disruptions in the cells’ cytoskeleton. The team’s research on the findings was published earlier this year in the Journal of Cell Biology. “I spent about three months ...

Our study focused on a protein called vinculin, which acts as a key connector between the cell's internal skeleton (cytoskeleton) and its external environment. We used a powerful combination of ...
