Actin cytoskeleton in angiogenesis

Biology Open, 2022
ABSTRACTActin, one of the most abundant intracellular proteins in mammalian cells, is a critical regulator of cell shape and polarity, migration, cell division, and transcriptional response. Angiogenesis, or the formation of new blood vessels in the body is a well-coordinated multi-step process.

Regulation of actin cytoskeleton via photolithographic micropatterning

Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2023
Actin cytoskeleton plays crucial roles in various cellular functions. Extracellular matrix (ECM) can modulate cell morphology by remodeling the internal cytoskeleton.

Influence of ROCK Pathway Manipulation on the Actin Cytoskeleton Height

Cells, 2022
The actin cytoskeleton with its dynamic properties serves as the driving force for the movement and division of cells and gives the cell shape and structure. Disorders in the actin cytoskeleton occur in many diseases.

Chronic cholesterol depletion increases F-actin levels and induces cytoskeletal reorganization via a dual mechanism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Previous work from us and others has suggested that cholesterol is an important lipid in the context of the organization of the actin cytoskeleton.

Cellular Actin Cytoskeleton Morphology Identification for Mechanical Characterization Using Deep Learning

IEEE Access, 2022
Actin cytoskeleton morphology is able to affect and reflect the cellular mechanical properties. However, due to the lack of efficient approaches to quantifying actin cytoskeleton and mechanical properties, the study of mechanotransduction dynamics is ...
