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.

Intracellular tension sensor reveals mechanical anisotropy of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 The filamentous actin (F-actin) cytoskeleton is a composite material consisting of cortical actin and bundled F-actin stress fibers, which together mediate the mechanical behaviors of the cell, from cell division to cell migration. However, as mechanical

Actin Cytoskeleton and Integrin Components Are Interdependent for Slit Diaphragm Maintenance in Drosophila Nephrocytes [PDF]
CellsIn nephrotic syndrome, the podocyte filtration structures are damaged in a process called foot process effacement. This is mediated by the actin cytoskeleton; however, which actins are involved and how they interact with other filtration components, like

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
