Cytoskeletal filaments are structures of utmost importance to biological cells and organisms
due to their versatility and the significant functions they perform. These biopolymers are most …

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

Mechanobiology requires precise quantitative information on processes taking place in
specific 3D microenvironments. Connecting the abundance of microscopical, molecular …

The actin cytoskeleton is a main component of cells and it is crucially involved in many
physiological processes, eg cell motility. Changes in the actin organization can be effected …

The authors introduce an edge detection and recovery framework based on open active
contour models (snakelets) to mitigate the problem of noisy or broken edges produced by …

Fluorescence microscopy is frequently used to study two and three dimensional network
structures formed by cytoskeletal polymer fibers such as actin filaments and actin cables …

Background The stress fibers are prominent organization of actin filaments that perform
important functions in cellular processes such as migration, polarization, and traction force …

Keratin intermediate filaments are dynamic cytoskeletal components that are responsible for
tuning the mechanical properties of epithelial tissues. Although it is known that keratin …

The actin cytoskeleton is essential in eukaryotes, not least in the plant kingdom where it
plays key roles in cell expansion, cell division, environmental responses and pathogen …

Studies of social and group behavior in interacting organisms require high-throughput
analysis of the motion of a large number of individual subjects. Computer vision techniques …
