Tight coupling between biochemical and mechanical properties of the actin cytoskeleton
drives a large range of cellular processes including polarity establishment, morphogenesis …

The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

Branched actin networks—created by the Arp2/3 complex, cap** protein, and a nucleation
promoting factor—generate and transmit forces required for many cellular processes, but …

Understanding protein dynamics is crucial in order to elucidate protein function and
interactions. Advances in modern microscopy facilitate the exploration of the mobility of …

The actin cytoskeleton assembles into diverse load-bearing networks, including stress fibers
(SFs), muscle sarcomeres, and the cytokinetic ring to both generate and sense mechanical …

The crosstalk between microtubules and actin is essential for cellular functions. However,
mechanisms underlying the microtubule-actin organization by cross-linkers remain largely …

The cell cortex is a thin network of actin, myosin motors, and associated proteins that
underlies the plasma membrane in most eukaryotic cells. It enables cells to resist …

A migrating cell is a molecular machine made of tens of thousands of short-lived and
interacting parts. Understanding migration means understanding the self-organization of …

Cells assemble and maintain functionally distinct actin cytoskeleton networks with various
actin filament organizations and dynamics through the coordinated action of different sets of …

The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a unique epithelium, with major roles which are
essential in the visual cycle and homeostasis of the outer retina. The RPE is a monolayer of …
