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 ...

Were some microtubules under evolutionary pressure to adapt, perhaps developing new functions? Or, when they no longer had ... “Diversity comes from differences in cell shape and behavior,” ...

The research focuses on cells’ “feet,” which are small bundles of molecules that help cells move. Scientists are exploring ...

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood ...

Cancer cell mechanics are determined by major components, particularly the nuclear envelope, the cytoskeleton and the ECM. The ultimate consequence of cancer cell mechanical abnormalities is an ...

Endosomal recycling is a branch of intracellular membrane trafficking that retrieves endocytosed cargo proteins from early and late endosomes to prevent their degradatio ...

2018). Cell Volume, Nitric Oxide, and the Cytoskeleton May Act Together in Regulating Endocytosis In endothelial cells, a reciprocal regulatory relationship between eNOS and caveolin-1 (Cav-1) has ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...

Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

However, the study provides limited new insights into the relationship between retinal lamination defects and overall retinal function. Neural lamination is a common feature of the central nervous ...
