Cells are characterized to be stable yet highly flexible. They constantly modify their shape and even move through tissue. These vital properties are based on a dynamically organized network of ...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich researchers have developed photoresponsive derivatives of the anticancer drug Taxol ®, which allow light-based control of cytoskeleton dynamics in ...

The cells of multicellular organisms accomplish their roles with exquisitely appropriate timing, even while experiencing a wide variety of extracellular stimuli. After defining this timing/switching ...

People often talk about how important it is to stay in shape, something humans usually can accomplish with exercise and a healthy diet, and other habits. But chances are, few of us ever think about ...
