Researchers introduced three TRIO gene variants into mice, showing how each mutation led to brain size reduction and altered ...

This enabled Victor Macarrón-Palacios to investigate the neural cytoskeleton in his doctoral thesis. These discoveries were further complemented by biochemical techniques and the expertise and ...

Have students compare the photos with diagrams of the cytoskeleton and discuss the differences. Practice engaging students in rounds of deliberate, thorough description (in the absence of ...

To achieve this goal, Leterrier and his team decided to look at the actin cytoskeleton in the presynaptic terminal, a specialized region of the neurons’ axons where the organization of this network of ...

Researchers have discovered that septins -- a part of the cytoskeleton -- form a barrier to the penetration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface ...

The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever ...

Within this laboratory, the "Cytoskeleton and Cancer Progression" research group, led by Dr. Clément Thomas, focuses in particular on the actin cytoskeleton and related signaling pathways in the ...
