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 ...

Actin dynamics underlie the mechanical behaviour of eukaryotic cells by driving shape changes, migration and division. Monomeric actin (G-actin) polymerises into filamentous actin (F-actin) in a ...

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 ...

Cyclase-associated proteins (CAPs) are conserved multidomain regulators that orchestrate the continuous remodelling of the actin cytoskeleton. By binding both globular (G-actin) and filamentous actin ...

Thin, flexible protein strands called actin filaments act like bones for our cells and are critical for its movement. Supercomputer simulations have helped solve a decades-old mystery of how actin ...

Biophysicists have gained a new insight about the dynamics of cellular movement, which is key to processes ranging from stem-cell differentiation and wound healing to the development of diseases such ...

Cells in the human body are made to move. They assemble during embryo development, migrate to repair tissue, hunt pathogens, and perform a host of other tasks requiring travel. As part of the ...

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 ...

Free and capped actin filaments divided by pointed and barbed ends. Credit: Penn Medicine Actin filaments—protein structures critical to living movement from single cells to animals—have long been ...
