In cells, key actin-binding proteins regulate specific steps in this cycle. Other actin-binding proteins crosslink filaments into bundles or networks.

A research team reveals a critical cellular mechanism that enables this navigation: the dynamic remodeling of actin filaments at the tip of pollen tubes.

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

A new study led by Children's Hospital Los Angeles has found a novel mechanism behind neuroblastoma progression: the shape and structure of the extracellular matrix.

While their functions are diverse, myosins are similar in structure. NMII is so much like cardiac myosin, which keeps the ...

This study identifies astrocyte-intrinsic mechanisms by which the LRRK2 G2019S, a mutation linked to familial Parkinson's disease, disrupts synaptic integrity in the anterior cingulate cortex. The ...
