In recent years, bacterial cells have been shown to be spatially organized by localized protein complexes and dynamic cytoskeletal filaments ... factor after three-dimensional diffusion through ...

Thin, flexible protein strands called actin filaments act like bones for our cells and are critical for its movement. Supercomputer simulations have helped solve a decades-old mystery of how actin ...

This function relies to a large extent on the presence of "adherens" and "tight junctions," veritable protein ... network of filaments that is stronger and stiffer than that made up of beta-actin ...
