Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.

Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin. The actin filament is a double-stranded helical structure ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defence system called adaptive immunity comes into play. T cells, the top agents ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Arp2/3 complex nucleates branched actin filaments that provide pushing forces to drive cellular processes such as lamellipodial protrusion and ...

Researchers have visualized at the molecular level how formins bind to the ends of actin filaments. This allowed them to uncover how formins mediate the addition of new actin molecules to a growing ...

An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles. Actin filaments -- protein structures critical to living movement ...

Actin filaments - protein structures critical to living movement from single cells to animals - have long been known to have polarity associated with their physical characteristics, with growing ...

Cell on the move. A dendritic cell (actin inside the cell is shown in blue) crawls through a collagen gel (magenta). Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex ...
