The cytoskeleton serves as the structural framework of the cell, providing support, shape, and organization to cellular machinery. Composed of three classical cytoskeletal filament types, including ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Viral infection induces cytoskeleton remodeling into cage-like structure. Virus infection can cause severe rearrangement of the cytoskeleton, and all three kinds of cytoskeleton form a cage-like ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

Credit: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2025). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2418624122 Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Neurofilament light (NfL) is a 68 kDa cytoskeletal intermediate filament protein highly expressed in neuronal axons. It is associated with the 125 kDa Neurofilament medium (NfM) and the 200 kDa ...

Just as the human body has a skeleton to give it structure and support, a cell has a cytoskeleton to give it shape and stability. Some of the main structures that make up a cell’s cytoskeleton are ...
