Researchers have identified KIF5A as a new gene associated with the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The discovery further implicates the role of cytoskeletal defects in the axon as ...

Animal cells harbor three types of cytoskeletal elements: actin filaments, intermediate filaments and microtubules. Despite their name, cytoskeletons are very dynamic structures, which undergo rapid ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cytoskeletal active matter describes novel synthetic materials made up of mixtures of cytoskeletal filaments and molecular motors. By consuming chemical fuel, the molecular motors can bind to and ...

Abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, chemo-naive, who received a prior diethylstilbestrol therapy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2021 ...

Huntington's disease is a rare genetic disorder and a representative neurodegenerative disease, characterized by loss of motor control, cognitive decline, and psychiatric problems. An international ...

Even cellular components need good roads to travel along. This image shows key components of the cytoskeletal road map labeled in red, blue, and green. Even cellular components need good roads to ...
