actin filaments are rapidly polymerizing; at its rear edge, they are quickly depolymerizing (Figure 5). A large number of other proteins participate in actin assembly and disassembly as well.

Scientists have uncovered new details about cellular filaments that play a critical role in wound healing, according to a ...

Published in November in iScience, Charron's extensive work shows that the WAVE complex, already known for its role in actin cytoskeleton assembly, interacts directly with Boc, a receptor crucial ...

Their work, published in Nature Communications, reveals a mechanism of interdependence of different forms of the cytoskeletal proteins actin and myosin, and their functions. The team also ...
