Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

But filopodia can also wreak havoc: metastatic cancer cells use them to invade new regions of the body. Filopodia are composed of hexagonal bundles of proteins that give them structure and strength.

Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function throughout interphase and is essential as the cell progresses through the cell cycle. To support students’ understanding of the cytoskeleton, a ...
