Actin filaments are protein fibers that make up the internal skeleton of the cell. As active elements of our cells, actin filaments support the cell's fusion, movement and are involved in many other ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles. Actin filaments -- protein structures critical to living movement ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that ...

Researchers from Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and ETH Zurich have discovered how proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue. Clinging to the ends of filaments ...

Researchers used Listeria's movement as a model to build nanomotors inside artificial cells, giving them lifelike mobility ...

(a) Optical photograph of a soft-bodied macrofossil (specimen No. cy266) of unknown affinity, with abundant filamentous microfossils of Q. cambria (b–g) present on the surface. (b) SEM image of ...
