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

This study presents a valuable finding regarding the role of Arp2/3 and the actin nucleators N-WASP and WAVE complexes in myoblast fusion. The data presented is convincing, but it is suggested to ...

Myosins move along actin filaments, and kinesins and dyneins move along microtubules. Kinesins (with the exception of kinesin 14 family members) move towards microtubule plus ends, which in most ...

compelling: Evidence that features methods, data and analyses more rigorous than the current state-of-the-art convincing: Appropriate and validated methodology in line with current state-of-the-art ...

The membrane/actin sample is regularly imaged during this process. Tracer actin filaments are prepared by polymerizing G-actin labeled with Alexa Fluor 555 in the presence of 100 nM gelsolin ...

The actin cytoskeleton is composed of dynamic filament networks that build adaptable local architectures to sustain nearly all cellular activities in response to a myriad of stimuli. Although the ...

The actin cytoskeleton is composed of a dynamic filament meshwork that builds the architecture of the cell to sustain its fundamental properties. This physical structure is characterized by a ...
