A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

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 ...

Researchers have developed a highly sensitive technique to quantitatively evaluate the extent of cytoskeleton bundling from microscopic images. Until now, analysis of cytoskeleton organization was ...

How did life leap from simple microbial cells to the complex, structured cells that make up animals, plants, and fungi? A new study in The EMBO Journal by researchers at the Indian Institute of ...

The fine structure of resting and activated platelets was compared using two approaches novel to this dense cytoplasm. First, rapid lysis of platelets on carbon-coated grids was followed by negative ...

Dysfunctions and malformations in the scaffold of a cell are thought to contribute to heart muscle weakness, neurodegenerative disease and even deafness. Now biophysics research at The University of ...

Blebbing occurs when a call’s plasma membrane separates from its cytoskeleton and forms a membrane bulge filled with cytoplasm. This bulge will eventually separate from the cell, taking part of the ...
