The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model system widely used in biology. Using so-called RNA aptamers, the artificial cytoskeleton was bound to the cell membranes.

Animal stem cells use the cytoskeleton – a transient network of structural tubules – to physically pull the correct materials from the parent cell into each daughter cell during the split. Plants also ...

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells ...

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered a cytoskeleton which provides the structure for mitochondria, the cell's energy producers. The skeleton is necessary for the function of ...

The process could be far more similar to animal cell division than previously thought," Reski from the cluster of excellence CIBSS comments on the results of the study, which has appeared in the ...

Prof. Göpfrich’s work starts with the question of how synthetic cells can be created that bypass protein synthesis, which is essential in living cells. She uses the technique of RNA origami, which is ...
