Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a ...

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

The Java Application for Cytoskeleton Filament Characterization (JACFC) provides comprehensive computer models and high-performance algorithms to elucidate the molecular mechanisms modulating the ...

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments ... thaliana—The model successfully detected density changes in actin filaments as plant cells responded to environmental signals.

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout eukaryotic cells. These filaments are involved in giving the cell its structure, allowing the cell to move, and ...
