actin cytoskeleton

Various microbes, including several human pathogens, hijack the cell’s skeleton, membranes, and protein-making machinery to make themselves at home.

Viscous solutions accelerate the migration of tumor cells and may enable metastasis, according to a new study.

Researchers explore the idea that molecular patterns in individual cells could underlie the development of a left and a right in animals.

Researchers use imaging to show how actin fibers tilt and then swirl to create left-right asymmetry in the cell.

The biologist’s undergraduate-centered lab allows students to play a meaningful role in research.

Researchers made a synthetic cell that can photosynthesize and make proteins crucial for cellular structure. 

To chew up waste in far-reaching dendritic spines, lysosomes are trafficked sometimes hundreds of microns away from the cell bodies of neurons in rats.
