Visualising the actin cytoskeleton
Microscopy Research and Technique, 1999The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic filamentous network whose formation and remodeling underlies the fundamental processes of cell motility and shape determination. To serve these roles, different compartments of the actin cytoskeleton engage in forming specific coupling sites between neighbouring cells and with the underlying matrix, which themselves ...

SIGNALING TO THE ACTIN CYTOSKELETON
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1998▪ Abstract The actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic network composed of actin polymers and a large variety of associated proteins. The main functions of the actin cytoskeleton are to mediate cell motility and cell shape changes during the cell cycle and in response to extracellular stimuli, to organize the cytoplasm, and to generate mechanical ...

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1994
Budding and fission yeast present significant advantages for studies of the actin cytoskeleton. The application of classical and molecular genetic techniques provides a facile route for the analysis of structure/function relationships, for the isolation of novel proteins involved in cytoskeletal function, and for deciphering the signals that regulate ...

The Leukocyte Actin Cytoskeleton
Bulletin de l'Institut Pasteur, 1996The main task of leukocytes is to patrol throughout the body in order to detect and eliminate potentially harmful structures such as invading microorganisms or effete cells. The fulfilment of these functions often requires that cells undergo drastic morphological changes. These changes may be passive, e.g.

Viral manipulations of the actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 1997 Viruses succeed as intracellular parasites because of their ability to invade cells and appropriate the cellular machinery required during their life cycle. The actin cytoskeleton of the host cell does not escape viral infection unscathed, but is often co-opted by the virus at many different stages of its life cycle to facilitate the infection process.

Integrins and the actin cytoskeleton
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2007The ability to connect to the actin cytoskeleton is a key part of the adhesive function of integrins. This linkage between integrins and the cytoskeleton involves a large complex of integrin-associated proteins that function in both the assembly and disassembly of the link.

Biomimetic Models of the Actin Cytoskeleton
Small, 2007AbstractThe cytoskeleton is a complex polymer network that plays an essential role in the functionality of eukaryotic cells. It endows cells with mechanical stability, adaptability, and motility. To identify and understand the mechanisms underlying this large variety of capabilities and to possibly transfer them to engineered networks makes it ...

INTRACELLULAR PATHOGENS AND THE ACTIN CYTOSKELETON
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 1998▪ Abstract Many pathogens actively exploit the actin cytoskeleton during infection. This exploitation may take place during entry into mammalian cells after engagement of a receptor and/or as series of signaling events culminating in the engulfment of the microorganism. Although actin rearrangements are a common feature of most internalization events

Medical aspects of the actin cytoskeleton
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995The actin cytoskeleton is affected in many disease states. The mechanisms by which altered structure or expression of actin or of actin-binding proteins cause specific defects are beginning to emerge. Notable recent findings concern the roles in tumor suppression of proteins that link actin to the cell membrane, the specific functions of actin isoforms
