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

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.

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 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 ...

Dynamics of the Actin Cytoskeleton at Adhesion Complexes
Biology, 2021 The shape of cells is altered to allow cells to adapt to their changing environments, including responding to internally generated and externally applied force. Force is sensed by cell surface adhesion proteins that are enriched in sites where cells bind

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2014 A model of crosslinker unbinding is implemented in a highly coarse-grained granular model of F-actin cytoskeleton. We employ this specific granular model to study the mechanisms of the compressive responses of F-actin networks.
