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.

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.
