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

Microglia, the immune cells that protect the brain, are thought to maintain a healthy brain environment by removing unwanted substances through dynamic remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton, the cell's ...

The human cytoskeleton consists of three major classes of filaments: microfilaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. Here, we summarize recent progress in deciphering the structure and ...

Tight junctions (TJs) regulate paracellular permeability, cell polarity and cell mechanics of barrier-forming tissues. This Review explores how TJs adapt their structure and function across tissues, ...
