The cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells contains an elaborate filamentous protein meshwork — the cytoskeleton — which comprises three distinct but integrated fibrous polymers: filamentous actin (F ...

Cytoplasmic streaming is the persistent circulation of the fluid contents of large eukaryotic cells, driven by the action of molecular motors moving along cytoskeletal filaments, entraining fluid.

Viscoelasticity, in the context of cytoplasm, is how fast its cytoskeleton, or web of proteins, changes configuration. A cell's cytoskeleton serves as a sort of scaffold, ...

The cytoskeleton (also CSK) is a cellular "scaffolding" or "skeleton" contained within a cell's cytoplasm and is made out of protein. The cytoskeleton is present in all cells; it was once thought ...

In a study that may guide drug design, MIT researchers find organelles encounter varying levels of resistance, depending on their size and speed, as they move through a cell's cytoplasm.

In the context of cytoplasm, viscoelasticity represents how quickly a cell can change shape by altering its cytoskeleton. The cytoskeleton can create impediments to movement inside the cell; because ...

The accumulation of p21 in the cytoplasm causes the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton so that rod-like filaments made of actin are broken down, and the released actin is relocated to the ...

P-bodies are dynamic ribonucleoprotein granules found in the cell cytoplasm. They are primarily composed of translationally repressed mRNAs and proteins associated with mRNA decay machinery.

The Cell World app is a nice educational app that is comprised of an interactive animation of the inside of a eukaryotic cell (as well as some rather hypnotic music). As users navigate around the ...
