Cell migration is a highly dynamic process driven by the cytoskeleton, which mainly
comprises the actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. During …

The cytoskeleton and its components—actin, microtubules and intermediate filaments—
have been studied for decades, and multiple roles of the individual cytoskeletal …

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 …

Microtubules have fundamental roles in many essential biological processes, including cell
division and intracellular transport. They assemble and disassemble from their two ends …

Microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) were initially discovered as proteins that bind to
and stabilize microtubules. Today, an ever-growing number of MAPs reveals a more …

Electric‐field‐based stimulation is emerging as a new cancer therapeutic modality through
interfering with cell mitosis. To address its limitations of complicated wire connections, bulky …

Cells actively sense and process mechanical information that is provided by the extracellular
environment to make decisions about growth, motility and differentiation. It is important to …

The cilium, once considered a vestigial structure, is a conserved, microtubule-based
organelle critical for transducing extracellular chemical and mechanical signals that control …

The growth and migration of neurons require continuous remodelling of the neuronal
cytoskeleton, providing a versatile cellular framework for force generation and guided …

Increased expression of vimentin intermediate filaments (VIFs) enhances directed cell
migration, but the mechanism behind VIFs' effect on motility is not understood. VIFs interact …
