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 ...

Researchers have studied the role of a specific protein, gamma-actin, in the organization and mechanics of epithelial cells and their junctions. Their work reveals a mechanism of interdependence ...

At the end of the month, Pope Francis chose to ratify the assembly’s final report rather than write his own postsynodal document, stating that “there are already very concrete indications in ...

TNTs typically emerge from a cell in an active process driven by the actin protein, which can polymerise into stiff rods that push on a membrane, rather as they do in the formation of the protrusions ...

Actin can also break down ATP ... Since we can easily control the assembly and disassembly of the tube with ATP, it gives us a simple method to deliver and release the drugs at the desired ...

Our findings further indicate that the MLCK/MLCP regulates axon regeneration and redistributes the growth cone F-actin, and this result suggests that direct regulation of the growth cone machinery is ...

BBR inhibited the expression of F-actin, a key protein in phagosome formation. Notably, BBR exerted its phagocytosis effects through targeting phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), thereby activating the ...
