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

Generally, cytoskeletal proteins are polymers, and include tubulin (the protein component of microtubules), actin (the component of microfilaments) and lamin (the component of intermediate filaments).

Thus, central microfilaments undergo dynamic changes during lesion formation. At flow divider sites, where prominent central microfilaments are normally present, the microfilaments persisted after the ...

A bonus is that the waterproof cover (yes, you can spill a glass of wine on it and it’ll slide right off) contains microfilaments to protect the mattress from bacteria and dust mites. “Great mattress, ...

The initial stages of elongation are driven by circumferential actin microfilaments in the epidermis [61]. Continued elongation beyond the two-fold stage requires proper development of the body wall ...

We have studied the self-assembly process of a typical biocoordination polymer, Ag(I)/cysteine (Cys), with different chiralities of the amino acid. Self-assembly of Ag(I)/l-Cys leads to production of ...

Cutaneous wound healing is an essential physiological process consisting of the collaboration of many cell strains and their products. 1 Attempts to restore the lesion induced by a local aggression ...

Membrane nanotubes can facilitate direct intercellular communication between cells and provide a unique channel for intercellular transfer of cellular contents. However, the transport mechanisms of ...
