Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Variability characterizes the complexity of biological systems and is essential for their
function. Microtubules (MTs) play a role in structural integrity, cell motility, material transport …

The microtubule cytoskeleton forms complex macromolecular assemblies with a range of
microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that have fundamental roles in cell architecture …

Microtubules are non-covalent polymers of αβ-tubulin dimers. Posttranslational processing
of the intrinsically disordered C-terminal α-tubulin tail produces detyrosinated and Δ2 …

Microtubules are dynamic filaments that assemble spindles for eukaryotic cell division. As
the concentration profiles of soluble tubulin and regulatory proteins are non-uniform during …

Integrins engage components of the extracellular matrix, and in collaboration with other
receptors, regulate signaling cascades that impact cell behavior in part by modulating the …

Proteins that associate with microtubules (MTs) are crucial to generate MT arrays and
establish different cellular architectures. One example is PRC1 (protein regulator of …

Microtubule filaments form ubiquitous networks that specify spatial organization in cells.
However, quantitative analysis of microtubule networks is hampered by their complex …

Liposomes encapsulating cytoskeletons have drawn much recent attention to develop an
artificial cell-like chemical-machinery; however, as far as we know, there has been no report …

The reduction of iron oxide minerals and uranium in model metal reducers in the genus
Geobacter is mediated by conductive pili composed primarily of a structurally divergent pilin …
