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 …

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

In recent decades, there has been a major shift in the way researchers process and
understand scientific data. Digital access to data has revolutionized ways of doing science in …

Roots hairs are cylindrical extensions of root epidermal cells that are important for
acquisition of nutrients, microbe interactions, and plant anchorage. The molecular …

Pollen tubes extend rapidly via tip growth. This process depends on a dynamic actin
cytoskeleton, which has been implicated in controlling organelle movements, cytoplasmic …

Pollen tubes elongate within the pistil to transport sperms to the female gametophytes for
fertilization. Pollen tubes grow at their tips through a rapid and polarized cell growth process …

Plant cells grow through increases in volume and cell wall surface area. The mature
morphology of a plant cell is a product of the differential rates of expansion between …

The actin cytoskeleton is one of the major structural components of the cell. It often
undergoes rapid reorganization and plays crucial roles in a number of dynamic cellular …

Metazoan cells harness the power of actin dynamics to create cytoskeletal arrays that
stimulate protrusions and drive intracellular organelle movements. In plant cells, the actin …

Eukaryotic cells generate a diversity of actin filament networks in a common cytoplasm to
optimally perform functions such as cell motility, cell adhesion, endocytosis and cytokinesis …
