The axon is the single long fiber that extends from the neuron and transmits electrical
signals away from the cell body. The neuronal cytoskeleton, composed of microtubules …

Recent observations related to the structure of the cytoskeleton in neurons and novel
cytoskeletal abnormalities involved in the pathophysiology of some neurological diseases …

Vinculin is an actin-binding protein thought to reinforce cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesions.
However, how mechanical load affects the vinculin–F-actin bond is unclear. Using a single …

The corporeal beauty of the neuronal cytoskeleton has captured the imagination of
generations of scientists. One of the easiest cellular structures to visualize by light …

Membrane protein organization is essential for proper cellular functioning and the result of a
dynamic exchange between protein monomers, nanoscale protein clusters, and microscale …

Actin filaments and associated proteins undergo wave-like movement in various cell types.
Recent studies with cutting-edge analyses, including live-cell imaging, biophysical …

Neuronal polarization establishes distinct molecular structures to generate a single axon
and multiple dendrites. Studies over the past years indicate that this efficient separation is …

Actin is the most abundant protein in almost all the eukaryotic cells. Actin amino acid
sequences are highly conserved and have not changed a lot during the progress of …

Dendritic cells (DC s) are potent and specialized antigen presenting cells, which play a
crucial role in initiating and amplifying both the innate and adaptive immune responses …

Cellular morphogenesis and processes such as cell division and migration require the
coordination of the microtubule and actin cytoskeletons. Microtubule–actin crosstalk is …
