Across complex, multi-time and -length scale biological systems, redundancy confers robustness and resilience, enabling adaptation and increasing survival under dynamic environmental conditions; this ...

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 ...

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, ...
