Prof. Michael Murrell's group (lead author Zachary Gao Sun, graduate student in physics) in collaboration with Prof. Garegin Papoian's group from the University of Maryland at College Park has found ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build and coordinate the internal scaffolding needed to create a healthy egg. The ...

This image shows a Vero cell that was grown on a first surface mirror and fluorescently stained to show the microtubules, which are part of the cell cytoskeleton. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are ...

The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans. The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of ...

Representative kymographs showing single GFP-tagged ATAT-2 molecules on GMPCPP-stabilized MEC-12/MEC-7 (left) and TBA-2/TBB-2 (right ...
