Scientific Reports, 2021 We have recently found that β-actin-like protein 2 (actbl2) forms complexes with gelsolin in human melanoma cells and can polymerize. Phylogenetic and bioinformatic analyses showed that actbl2 has a common origin with two non-muscle actins, which share a

Immunohistochemical analysis of α-SMA and GFAP expression in liver stellate cells [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2006 Background/Aim. Liver stellate cells play an important role in hepatic fibrosis, and its progression to cirrhosis. These cells show immunoreactivity with different monoclonal antibodies amongst which the commonest are α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and ...

Evolutionarily divergent, unstable filamentous actin is essential for gliding motility in apicomplexan parasites. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2011 Apicomplexan parasites rely on a novel form of actin-based motility called gliding, which depends on parasite actin polymerization, to migrate through their hosts and invade cells.

Different translation dynamics of β- and γ-actin regulates cell migration
eLife, 2021 β- and γ-cytoplasmic actins are ubiquitously expressed in every cell type and are nearly identical at the amino acid level but play vastly different roles in vivo. Their essential roles in embryogenesis and mesenchymal cell migration critically depend on

Structure and function of Plasmodium actin II in the parasite mosquito stages.
PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Actins are filament-forming, highly-conserved proteins in eukaryotes. They are involved in essential processes in the cytoplasm and also have nuclear functions.

A rare case report of ovarian myxoma in a 23-year-old woman: Diagnosis and treatment [PDF]
Majallah-i Zanān, Māmā̓ī va Nāzā̓ī-i ĪrānIntroduction: Ovarian myxoma is a rare benign neoplasm with specific features among ovarian tumors. It may be confused with other ovarian masses due to its histological similarities to edematous fibromas and myxoid sarcomas. In this paper, a rare case of
