Nature has developed a unique structure as a scaffold for almost all nerve cells: the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS). This specialized cytoskeletal structure is located below the cell ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis of cytoskeleton organization was ...

A research group from Kumamoto University, Japan has developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis ...

Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The University of ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

(May 8, 2019) - Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The ...

Cells are characterized to be stable yet highly flexible. They constantly modify their shape and even move through tissue. These vital properties are based on a dynamically organized network of ...

Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a remarkable new material that can capture energy, store it for months, ...
