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 ...

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) found that disruption of a cellular structure, known as the actin cytoskeleton, is a "priming signal" for the body to ...

Researchers have discovered that septins -- a part of the cytoskeleton -- form a barrier to the penetration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface of ...

The cytoskeleton serves as the structural framework of the cell, providing support, shape, and organization to cellular machinery. Composed of three classical cytoskeletal filament types, including ...

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 ...
