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 cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of ... nanometers (nm), and they are composed of a protein called tubulin. Actin filaments are the smallest type, with a diameter of only about 6 ...

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...

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 ...

Instead, it's made up of microtubules (long polymer tubes of the tubulin protein) and microfilaments made from the protein ...
