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 ...

The actin cytoskeleton (green) and plastids (red) are believed to function in gravity sensing and signaling in plants. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news ...

In this recent study, the researcher and her team analyzed the role of gamma-actin—one of the components of the cytoskeleton—in the organization of junctions between cells, and discovered that ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the ... detected density changes in actin filaments as plant cells responded ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...

Excessive Ca2+ in cytoplasm activates calpain-1 and results in rearrangement of cytoskeleton. Meanwhile, excessive Ca2+ uptake of mitochondrion leads to mitochondrial swelling and large bubbles ...

In addition to actin filaments, eukaryotes also possess microtubules. These tube-shaped structures are the second key component of the cytoskeleton and are comprised of numerous tubulin proteins.
