A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...

A research group from Kumamoto University, Japan has developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis ...

Bacteria and archaea use protein filament systems to organize cellular processes in time and space. Filaments can act as static scaffolds or as dynamic motors. In some cases, these filament systems ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...

A research group from Kumamoto University, Japan has developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis ...

A protein known as Arf1 plays a role in podosome formation by regulating the assembly of myosin-II within the cytoskeleton, a new study has revealed. A study carried out by a team of researchers from ...

Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms of cytoskeletal proteins. For example, the atomic structures of actin, ...

Optical blur was artificially added to microscopic images of reticular and bundle cytoskeleton and the difference between the existing and proposed methods was assessed. In the right figure, the ...
