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 ...

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 ...

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

Recycling plastic into filament normally involves chopping it into tiny pieces and pushing it through a screw extruder. [JRT3D] is taking a different approach with PetBot, which cuts PET bottles ...

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 ...

To investigate how Mei5-Sae3 stimulates Dmc1 to displace RPA and form nucleoprotein filaments ... uncovering transient ...

That’s just the bulb life, too, not even taking into account how fragile and easily breakable an incandescent filament is. With larger bulbs and a wire that can be easily cut and adjusted as ...
