Human embryonic kidney cells use actin cytoskeletal networks to organize proteins on the surfaces of cell membranes.

Water-dwelling hydras may use the structural memory in their cytoskeletons to regenerate after being torn apart. 

A study provides the first visual evidence that cytofilaments tunnel through a cell’s nucleus to the extracellular matrix.

Applying a mechanical force that pulls on a cell stretches chromatin, facilitating transcription, scientists show.

Redirecting the gene-editing tool to modulate gene expression, researchers restore protein function in cells from a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Actin—the bones of the cell—has a preference for swirling into a counterclockwise pattern.

Cytoskeleton specialist Alan Hall was best known for unpacking the roles of Rho GTPases.   

Ancient skeletons test positive for plague-causing bacteria.

Imaging cell cytoskeletons during early embryonic development leads researchers to uncover a new regulator of cell shape
