Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 nm, and they are made of a protein called actin. Intermediate filaments, as their name suggests, are mid-sized, with a ...

This is a great time to introduce the three categories of cytoskeletal components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function ...

Like other eukaryotic cells, neurons have a cytoskeleton that consists of three main polymers: microtubules (green), intermediate filaments (purple) and actin filaments (red). Microtubules emanate ...

Interested in experimenting with your own multi-color filament? [Turbo_SunShine] says to just print your own, and experiment away! Now, if you’re thinking that 3D printing some filament sounds ...

M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii have mapped a sphere of strange filaments extending away from where the star exploded. It’s the first time the wispy strands, resembling a dandelion flower ...

This includes the protein sacsin that is mutated in an early onset ataxia. Loss of sacsin disrupts intermediate filament organisation and mitochondrial function. We hypothesise that sacsin functions ...

We are also investigating actin filament network mechanics and the regulation of cytoskeletal dynamics.

This handbook contains a comprehensive collection of protocols to streamline imaging workflows and ensure reproducible ...
