- a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence
How To Use cytoskeleton In A Sentence
- The networks related to cellular development and connective tissue disorder showed that enzymes such as phosphoglycerate 12 mutase (glycolysis), muscle proteins such as myosin heavy chain 4 (Actin cytoskeleton signaling), nebulin-related anchoring protein (Actin binding protein) were significantly down regulated by TWEAK ( PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- When the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes invades the body, it commandeers its host cell's actin cytoskeleton to invade other cells.
- The cytoskeleton is composed of microfilament, microtubule and intermediate filament, which have important biological functions.
- If vesicles are then generated from this proto-ER/Golgi, a plasma membrane can be formed on an existing cytoskeleton, a process similar to the formation of the cellular blastoderm in Drosophila and similar to the addition of vesicle to the current plasma membrane. Albert de Roos: A design hypothesis for the evolution of the nucleus
- Alterations of the actin cytoskeleton and arrest of cytoplasmic streaming induced by the SI reaction are propagated in a basipetal direction in the tubular cell.
- Smooth muscle cells possess a contractile apparatus consisting of actin and myosin filaments and the cytoskeleton.
- That may well operate via quantum weirdness as well, at least per the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR model of consciousness – where tubulin dimers in the microtubules of centrioles and cytoskeleton perform quantum computational information processing by configurational state-switching. Coordinated Evolution
- As an acute response to such stretches the cytoskeleton can stiffen, increase traction forces and reinforce, as reported by some, or can soften and fluidize, as reported more recently by our laboratory, but in any given circumstance it remains unknown which response might prevail or why. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- A mechanosensitive Ca 2 + channel is shown linking the cell wall to the plasmalemma so that relative movement between them, or between the former and the cytoskeleton, could open the channel.
- That may well operate via quantum weirdness as well, at least per the Penrose-Hameroff Orch-OR model of consciousness – where tubulin dimers in the microtubules of centrioles and cytoskeleton perform quantum computational information processing by configurational state-switching.
