Roles of the Actin Cytoskeleton and Cell Adhesion in Tissue Morphogenesis

Current Biology, 2021
The generation of organismal form (i.e., morphogenesis) arises from forces produced at the cellular level. In animal cells, much of this force is produced by the actin 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.

Actin Cytoskeleton Role in the Maintenance of Neuronal Morphology and Long-Term Memory

Cells, 2021
Evidence indicates that long-term memory formation creates long-lasting changes in neuronal morphology within a specific neuronal network that forms the memory trace.

Fueling the cytoskeleton – links between cell metabolism and actin remodeling

Journal of Cell Science, 2021
Attention has long focused on the actin cytoskeleton as a unit capable of organizing into ensembles that control cell shape, polarity, migration and the establishment of intercellular contacts that support tissue architecture.

RACK1 promotes Shigella flexneri actin-mediated invasion, motility, and cell-to-cell spreading

iScience, 2023
Summary: Shigella flexneri is an intracellular bacterium that hijacks the host actin cytoskeleton to invade and disseminate within the colonic epithelium.

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 ...

Role of actin cytoskeleton in the organization and function of ionotropic glutamate receptors

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2021
Neural networks with precise connection are compulsory for learning and memory. Various cellular events occur during the genesis of dendritic spines to their maturation, synapse formation, stabilization of the synapse, and proper signal transmission. The
