A cell is delimited by numerous borders that define specific organelles. The walls of some
organelles are particularly robust, such as in mitochondria or endoplasmic reticulum, but …

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) were initially discovered as proteins that bind to
and stabilize microtubules. Today, an ever-growing number of MAPs reveals a more …

Septins are an integral component of the cytoskeleton, assembling into higher-order
oligomers and filamentous polymers that associate with actin filaments, microtubules and …

Abstract In 1972 the Fluid—Mosaic Membrane Model of membrane structure was proposed
based on thermodynamic principals of organization of membrane lipids and proteins and …

Over the last several decades, an impressive array of advanced microscopic and analytical
tools, such as single-particle tracking and nanoscopic fluorescence correlation …

The mechanical phenotype of a cell determines its ability to deform under force and is
therefore relevant to cellular functions that require changes in cell shape, such as migration …

The growth and migration of neurons require continuous remodelling of the neuronal
cytoskeleton, providing a versatile cellular framework for force generation and guided …

Embryo implantation into receptive endometrium requires synergistic endometrial-blastocyst
interactions within the uterine cavity and is essential for establishing pregnancy. We …

Secretion and exchange of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by most cell types is emerging as a
fundamental biological process. Although much is known about EVs, there is still a lack of …

Mitosis is controlled by reversible protein phosphorylation involving specific kinases and
phosphatases. A handful of major mitotic protein kinases, such as the cyclin B–CDK1 …
