The actin cytoskeleton in ageing and apoptosis [PDF]
Regulated cell death, or apoptosis, has evolved to fulfil a myriad of functions amongst multicellular organisms. It is now apparent that programmed cell death occurs in unicellular organisms such as yeast. In yeast, as in higher eukaryotes, the actin cytoskeleton is an essential component of a number of cellular activities, and many of the regulatory ...

The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

The dynamic status of actin in the regulation of environmental sensing and homeostatic control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Actin is a highly conserved protein in eukaryotes which forms dynamic cytoskeletal structures. Rapid remodeling of actin filaments is important for the regulation of a broad range of critical cellular processes.

Interactions between plant endomembrane systems and the actin cytoskeleton
Membrane trafficking, organelle movement and morphogenesis in plant cells are mainly controlled by the cytoskeleton. Not all proteins that regulate the actin cytoskeleton and membrane dynamics in animal systems have functional homologues in plants ...

A novel function of twins, B subunit of protein phosphatase 2A, in regulating actin polymerization. [PDF]
Actin is an important component of the cytoskeleton and its polymerization is delicately regulated by several kinases and phosphatases. Heterotrimeric protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a potent phosphatase that is crucial for cell proliferation, apoptosis,

Comprehensive contribution of filament thickness and crosslinker failure to the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton [PDF]
Rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is significant to the restructuring of cytoskeleton under a variety of cell activities. This study numerically validates the rheological property of F-actin cytoskeleton is not only a result of kinetic energy ...

Effects of F/G-actin ratio and actin turn-over rate on NADPH oxidase activity in microglia
Background Most in vivo studies that have addressed the role of actin dynamics in NADPH oxidase function in phagocytes have used toxins to modulate the polymerization state of actin and mostly effects on actin has been evaluated by end point measurements

Actin Dynamics at the T Cell Synapse as Revealed by Immune-Related Actinopathies
The actin cytoskeleton is composed of dynamic filament networks that build adaptable local architectures to sustain nearly all cellular activities in response to a myriad of stimuli. Although the function of numerous players that tune actin remodeling is

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy
This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...
