The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic network made up of actin polymers and associated actin binding proteins. The actin cytoskeleton was originally isolated as a component of the actomyosin complex ...

Manipulation of the host cell actin cytoskeleton is a common feature for many viruses. In this Review, Taylor, Koyuncu and Enquist describe how the interaction of viral proteins with the actin ...

The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell's parts.

SETD2, known for its involvement on gene expression, also can affect functions controlled by the cytoskeleton, such as movement, metastasis and migration, which are very important for cancer cells.

This actin shell selectively and subtly unwraps the ER from mitochondria and delays the initial phases of the Pink/Parkin dependent mitophagy pathway. To achieve the mechanistic information on actin’s ...

The cytoskeleton provides most cells with their shape, structure, and internal organization. In turn, the cytoskeleton relies on a type of actin protein, called filamentous or F-actin.

The actin cytoskeleton is essential for maintaining the shape of cells and enabling motility, and plays critical roles in tumor cell invasion and metastasis.

An interdisciplinary team lead by Peter Bieling and Stefan Raunser from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Physiology in Dortmund has now revealed a previously unknown mechanism, explaining how ...

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

Study identifies key protein that helps regulate the actin cytoskeleton. A recent study led by Assistant Professor of Gerontology Ryo Sanabria has identified a key protein that helps regulate the ...
