(Nanowerk Spotlight) In animal cells, the well known cytoskeletal proteins actin microfilaments and microtubules are accompanied by a third filament system that in humans consist of a family of more ...

Crosslinking proteins that connect different components of cytoskeletal networks are more than just structural elements: they also have a functional role in stabilizing and destabilizing the networks ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins, and it provides mechanical support to the cell and its cytoplasmic constituents. All cytoskeletons consist of three major classes ...
