So, the cytoskeleton often finds itself in the middle of a web of pathways: chemical signals can influence cytoskeletal dynamics and organization, which in turn can modulate further transduction ...

Higher organisms have evolved a plethora of endocytic pathways with unique characteristics ... We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites ...

Now biophysics research at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has taken a closer look at a cell’s cytoskeleton and found a new purpose: It aids in energy transfer and information processing ...

Organisms have evolved various endocytic pathways, all relying on actin-generated forces to facilitate internalisation ... In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the ...

This enabled Victor Macarrón-Palacios to investigate the neural cytoskeleton in his doctoral thesis. These discoveries were further complemented by biochemical techniques and the expertise and ...
