The link between cytoskeletal actin dynamics and correlated gene activities was unclear. However, the discovery that globular actin polymerization liberates myocardin family transcriptional ...

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.

Cells, the fundamental building blocks of life, are constantly subjected to a variety of mechanical forces within our bodies.

Researchers from Cleveland Clinic's Florida Research and Innovation Center (FRIC) found that disruption of a cellular structure, known as the actin cytoskeleton, is a "priming signal" for the body ...

Imaging the actin cytoskeleton in presynapses is not easy as the abundance of the protein in the postsynaptic terminal often obscures its presence in the presynaptic one, Leterrier explained. Genome ...

“The filaments, F-Actin and microtubules, are able to propagate electrical impulses inside neurons. This property is something that scientists generally haven’t considered.” The cell’s cytoskeleton, ...

“The actin cytoskeleton dictates the shape and polarity of a cell and is essential in numerous and diverse fundamental processes including cellular division, motility, phagocytosis, organelle ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...

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 ...

The actin cytoskeleton is composed of actin filaments, which give cells their overall shape and structure. This new study revealed that, in glucose-starved SLC7A11-high cancer cells, ...
