Cytoskeletal Proteins Interact to Form Intracellular Networks

Investigators have discovered that two cytoskeletal proteins which were previously thought to function independently actually interact and form essential cytoskeletal networks within the cell surface.

Scientific Advances
Mar 11, 2022

Exploring Flow Transport in Egg Cells

Motor proteins “slingshot” microtubules within developing egg cells of fruit flies, creating a current that transports mRNA to a developing egg.
