Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted substances through dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, the cell's ...

The actin cytoskeleton in Saccharomyces cerevisiae comprises a dynamic network of filamentous structures—cables, cortical patches and the cytokinetic ring—that underpins cell shape, polarity and ...

We demonstrated for the first time that Hv1 is present and functional on endosomes. Additionally, Hv1 controlled actin cytoskeleton function via a protein called CapZ. The actin cytoskeleton was also ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...
