For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection or form precise, short-lived contacts with other cells, by constantly ...

Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

The cytoskeleton is a cellular scaffolding system whose functions include maintenance of cellular shape, enabling cellular migration, division, intracellular transport, signaling and membrane ...

The cytoskeleton is a critical component of cancer cell migration and is broadly involved in cell structure and motility. The ...

A cell’s ability to change shape depends on its actin cytoskeleton — a dense, dynamic network of branched filaments beneath ...

New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform ...

Macrophages drive key immune processes including inflammation, tissue repair, and tumorigenesis via distinct polarization ...

Cell membranes in our body relies on membrane viscosity to transport membranes and carry-out cellular functions. But ...
