Many aspects of plant development, including patterning and tropisms, are largely dependent on the asymmetric distribution of the plant signaling molecule auxin. Auxin transport inhibitors (ATIs), ...

The molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed using cryo-electron ...

Myxococcus xanthus cells move across a surface by one of two mechanisms: twitching motility and gliding motility. Whereas the pilus-driven mechanism of twitching motility is relatively well ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Plasma membrane blebs are dynamic cytoskeleton-regulated cell protrusions that have been implicated in apoptosis, cytokinesis, and cell ...

Researchers have used a light-based technique to create artificial structures that mimic the scaffolding of cells Figure 1: A fluorescence micrograph of a cell showing the actin cytoskeleton (stained ...

The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic network made up of actin polymers and associated actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton was originally isolated as a component of the actomyosin complex in ...
