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 ...

Effects of plasma membrane cholesterol level and cytoskeleton F-actin on cell protrusion mechanics. [PDF]
, 2013 Protrusions are deformations that form at the surface of living cells during biological activities such as cell migration. Using combined optical tweezers and fluorescent microscopy, we quantified the mechanical properties of protrusions in adherent ...

Actin Remodeling Defects Leading to Autoinflammation and Immune Dysregulation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 A growing number of monogenic immune-mediated diseases have been related to genes involved in pathways of actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Increasing evidences associate cytoskeleton defects to autoinflammatory diseases and primary immunodeficiencies.

Dynamic reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
F1000Research, 2015 Cellular processes, including morphogenesis, polarization, and motility, rely on a variety of actin-based structures. Although the biochemical composition and filament organization of these structures are different, they often emerge from a common origin. This is possible because the actin structures are highly dynamic. Indeed, they assemble, grow, and

LUZP1 Controls Cell Division, Migration and Invasion Through Regulation of the Actin Cytoskeleton
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 LUZP1 is a centrosomal and actin cytoskeleton-localizing protein that regulates both ciliogenesis and actin filament bundling. As the cytoskeleton and cilia are implicated in metastasis and tumor suppression, we examined roles for LUZP1 in the context of

Quantitative Investigation of the Link between Actin Cytoskeleton Dynamics and Cellular Behavior
Micromachines, 2022 Actin cytoskeleton reorganization, which is governed by actin-associated proteins, has a close relationship with the change of cell biological behavior. However, a perceived understanding of how actin mechanical property links to cell biological property

Actin cytoskeleton-dependent regulation of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor heteromers [PDF]
, 2017 Stress responses are highly nuanced and variable, but how this diversity is achieved by modulating receptor function is largely unknown. Corticotropin-releasing factor receptors (CRFRs), class B G protein–coupled receptors, are pivotal in mediating ...

Actin Cytoskeleton Affects Schwann Cell Migration and Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Actin cytoskeleton regulates many essential biological functions, including cellular development, shape, polarity, and motility. The organization of actin cytoskeleton has also been associated with numerous physiological and pathological conditions, for ...
