Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made ... nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 nm ...

This study highlights the importance of proteins that are involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, revealing fundamental roles for HEM1 in both innate and adaptive immune cells.

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 ...

all of which require remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. The actincytoskeleton is composed of a network of actin filaments that underlie the plasma membrane. Filaments grow by the preferential ...

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

We recently discovered that these structures are essential for the establishment of reticular adhesions. In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin ...

They may also notice the movement of different cytoskeleton filaments within the cell, representing vesicle transport within the cell. This is especially true near the center of the cell, the location ...
