However, most animal cells have complex morphologies because the membrane adheres strongly to the cytoskeleton. In animal cells, movement of membrane into an endocytic vesicle or lamellipodium ...

Similarly to mice that lack other regulators of the cytoskeleton, HEM1-deficient T cells showed decreased activation and proliferation compared with wild-type T cells. Surprisingly, some T-cell ...

They may also notice the movement of different cytoskeleton filaments within the cell, representing vesicle transport within the cell. This is especially true near the center of the cell, the location ...

Unlike a human skeleton, though, the cytoskeleton in cells doesn't contain bones. Instead, it's made up of microtubules (long polymer tubes of the tubulin protein) and microfilaments made from the ...

We recently discovered that these structures are essential for the establishment of reticular adhesions. In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin ...
