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.

The yeast actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2014 The actin cytoskeleton is a complex network of dynamic polymers, which plays an important role in various fundamental cellular processes, including maintenance of cell shape, polarity, cell division, cell migration, endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and mechanosensation. Precise spatiotemporal assembly and disassembly of actin structures is regulated

Phagocytosis and the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2001 ABSTRACT The process of engulfing a foreign particle – phagocytosis – is of fundamental importance for a wide diversity of organisms. From simple unicellular organisms that use phagocytosis to obtain their next meal, to complex metazoans in which phagocytic cells represent an essential branch of the immune system, evolution has armed ...
