The study of pathways that trigger apoptosis and ageing is crucial for increasing our understanding of these fundamental processes. Whereas apoptosis is probably triggered by a range of both ...

Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted ...

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 ...

Proteomics Approaches to Analysis of the Cytoskeleton in Immune Cells Cytoskeletal proteins are often identified in many proteomic studies either as contaminants, owing to their very high abundance, ...

The cytoskeleton is involved in all main functions of immune cells related to the response to infection. Studies of the cytoskeletal proteome can vastly contribute to our understanding of cytoskeleton ...

The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. The cytoskeleton can be compared to a transport network facilitating various types of movement in the ...

Maintaining the shape of the cell, creating proper internal structure, guiding organelles and pulling chromosomes apart during mitosis are some of the important functions of the cytoskeleton. The ...
