Comparing their AI-based approach with conventional methods, the researchers found that while traditional techniques could effectively measure the angles and alignment of cytoskeleton filaments, they ...

Cells are characterized to be stable yet highly flexible. They constantly modify their shape and even move through tissue. These vital properties are based on a dynamically organized network of ...

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis of cytoskeleton organization was ...

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 ...
