Myosin II plays the most important role in cellular force generation. Myosin II molecules self-assemble into filaments with different structures depending on myosin II isoforms and other conditions ...

This work by Ding et al uses agent-based simulations to explore the role of the structure of molecular motor myosin filaments in force generation ... disordered actin bundles which can occur in the ...

After bacterial internalization, the host-cell actin cytoskeleton is returned to its ... such as the formation of Salmonella-induced filaments, maintenance of the SCV membrane, perinuclear ...

The cytoskeleton is involved in all main functions of immune cells related to the response to infection. Studies of the cytoskeletal proteome can vastly contribute to our understanding of ...

An international research team has developed a new intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) design that includes a quantum ratchet (QR) semiconductor nanostructure. This new element reportedly enables ...

While classic cadherin-actin connections in adherens junctions (AJs) have ancient origins, intermediate filament ... cadherins to remodel cortical actin cytoskeleton and decrease membrane tension to ...

The cytoskeleton, including the microtubule, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, is a group of fibriform intracellular proteins that form a skeleton network to maintain the cell shape and ...

[1] The eukaryotic cell cytoskeleton consists of three distinct species of filamentous structures: microfilaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules, composed mainly of actin, vimentin ...
