Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted substances through dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, the cell's ...

The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Ludwig Maximilian University now show that, in neural stem cells, proteins of the cytoskeleton are also found in the cell nucleus, where they can influence ...

Skeletal muscle, accounting for about 40% of animal body mass, is the most prevalent tissue in vertebrates and plays a vital role in maintaining posture and controlling locomotion [1]. The development ...

We demonstrated for the first time that Hv1 is present and functional on endosomes. Additionally, Hv1 controlled actin cytoskeleton function via a protein called CapZ. The actin cytoskeleton was also ...

Researchers at UT San Antonio have uncovered new details about electrical signals happening within nerve cells, deepening scientists' understanding of the brain. Their work appears in the study, ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart, lungs and intestines to carry out specialized functions, cells contain organelles (‘little organs’) that carry out essential processes and ...

The deep learning-based segmentation method, applied to confocal microscopy images of cortical microtubules in tobacco BY-2 cells, significantly improves density measurement accuracy compared to ...
