Oligodendrocytes in a nutshell
Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). While the phrase is oft repeated and holds true, the last few years have borne witness to radical change in our understanding of this unique cell type.

Leiomyosarcoma of the Inferior Venacava: A Case Report
Leiomyosarcoma of inferior venacava is a rare tumor. Female are most commonly affected and middle segment of inferior vena cava is the commonest site. The diagnosis can sometimes be challenging as patients present with non-specific symptoms. We present a

A novel microfluidic flow-cytometry for counting numbers of single-cell β-actins
As a house keeping protein with stable expressions, β-actin is used as a loading control in normalization of western blotting. However, the actual numbers of β-actins at the single-cell level remain elusive.

Atomic view into Plasmodium actin polymerization, ATP hydrolysis, and fragmentation.
Plasmodium actins form very short filaments and have a noncanonical link between ATP hydrolysis and polymerization. Long filaments are detrimental to the parasites, but the structural factors constraining Plasmodium microfilament lengths have remained ...

Multiple essential functions of Plasmodium falciparum actin-1 during malaria blood-stage development
Background The phylum Apicomplexa includes intracellular parasites causing immense global disease burden, the deadliest of them being the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which invades and replicates within erythrocytes.

The Range of Cooperativity Modulates Actin Binding Protein Cluster Size, Density and Dynamics [PDF]
The actin cytoskeleton is composed of multiple networks which are specialized for several processes such as cell motility or cell division. Each of these networks are composed of organized actin microfilaments which are decorated with specific sets of actin binding proteins (ABPs).
