Membrane Remodeling Without Energy
Cell membranes instantly and spontaneously form reservoirs to accommodate sudden changes in membrane area.
Substrate Stiffness Increases Cytoskeletal Organization
Cells adapt to stiff substrates by modifying their cytoskeleton, organizing actin filaments into a single direction.
Why Embryos Die Without GPIs
A study in nematode worms shows that glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid anchors are essential for membrane stability, particularly during embryogenesis.
From Periphery To The Nucleus
A previously unidentified perinuclear actin ring could be the link between mechanosensing at the cell periphery and DNA regulation in the nucleus.
The Surprising Origins Of Cellular Handedness
The orientation of actin protein in the cytoskeleton can determine the asymmetry of the entire cell.
The Shape Of Neurons That Shape The Brain
Dynamics in the shape of neurons affect the formation of key structures known as growth cone, study says.
What Powers A Molecular Motor?
Cryo electron microscopy has revealed the dynamics of the molecular motor dyenin.
