In this review, we discuss the links between the cytoskeleton and cellular membranes or membrane-associated proteins in mediating the formation of transport carriers. Figure 1: Models for carrier ...

Regarding this situation, Akihiro Kusumi has proposed that the functions of the plasma membrane are regulated by the cytoskeleton, upon part of which the plasma membrane rests. Not only does the ...

A 3D engineered kidney glomerulus model replicates structural and mechanical features of the glomerular filtration barrier, ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial ... is interested in how tight junctions interact with the cytoskeleton—the internal framework of cells—to regulate cell architecture ...

Every red blood cell has a cytoskeleton, a sort of scaffolding made of protein molecules called spectrin, attached to the inside of its cell membrane in a brush-like network. When the bonds within ...

The mobility of cells is a prerequisite for a variety of essential biological functions and is ensured by the cytoskeleton. This dynamic protein network assembles on the inside of the cell membrane ...

Unlike many other cell types, RBCs can be easily isolated in large quantities and contain no transcellular or cytoplasmic cytoskeleton, allowing the membrane skeleton to be studied in isolation from ...

Septins are part of the cytoskeleton and serve as a key structural ... They also frequently play a role precisely when curved membranes are involved. The binding of LecA is sufficient to induce ...

et al. A closer look at the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum with fluorescence microscope shows the actin cytoskeleton: a network of fibres and tubes that extends close to the cell membrane.

Dynamic remodeling of the B cell membrane and the actin cytoskeleton facilitates subcellular organization of key signaling proteins, enabling B cells to accomplish their various functions. We employ ...

Septins are part of the cytoskeleton and serve as a key structural ... They also frequently play a role precisely when curved membranes are involved. The binding of LecA is sufficient to induce ...
