Polymerization of actin filaments against membranes produces force for numerous cellular
processes, such as migration, morphogenesis, endocytosis, phagocytosis and organelle …

Microtubules act as “railways” for motor-driven intracellular transport, interact with accessory
proteins to assemble into larger structures such as the mitotic spindle, and provide an …

The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

The widespread use of molecular machines in biology has long suggested that great
rewards could come from bridging the gap between synthetic molecular systems and the …

Majorana fermions are particles identical to their own antiparticles. They have been
theoretically predicted to exist in topological superconductors. Here, we report electrical …

Neural tissue engineering (NTE) is a rapidly progressing field that promises to address
several serious neurological conditions that are currently difficult to treat. Selecting the right …

The widespread use of controlled molecular‐level motion in key natural processes suggests
that great rewards could come from bridging the gap between the present generation of …

Migration is a polarized cellular process that opposes a protrusive front edge to a retracting
trailing edge. From the front to the rear, actin-mediated forces sequentially promote cell …

Cell motility is central to tissue homeostasis in health and disease, and there is hardly any
cell in the body that is not motile at a given point in its life cycle. Important physiological …

The morphological term 'amoeboid'migration subsumes a number of rather distinct
biophysical modes of cellular locomotion that range from blebbing motility to entirely actin …
