An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover ...

Classical cadherin adhesion receptors influence tissue integrity in health and disease. Their biological function is intimately linked to the actin cytoskeleton. To date, research has largely focused ...

Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other ...

The rearrangement of the cell´s inner scaffold, the cytoskeleton, is a vital process for immune cells. In a new collaborative study, a rare inherited disease revealed a hitherto unknown role of a ...

Researchers explore the idea that molecular patterns in individual cells could underlie the development of a left and a right in animals. Cell Chirality Offers Clues to the Mystery of Body Asymmetry ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...
