Quantitative image mean squared displacement (iMSD) analysis of the dynamics of profilin 1 at the membrane of live cells. [PDF]
Image mean square displacement analysis (iMSD) is a method allowing the mapping of diffusion dynamics of molecules in living cells. However, it can also be used to obtain quantitative information on the diffusion processes of fluorescently labelled ...

On the dynamics of the microfilament system in HeLa cells [PDF]
We measured the pools of unpolymerized and filamentous actin in homogenates of HeLa cells made in several different lysis buffers, as well as after treatment of cells with a variety of chemicals or trypsin, and after adenovirus (type 2) infection.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Cytochalasin B triggers a novel pertussis toxin sensitive pathway in TNF-alpha primed neutrophils
Background Cytochalasin B does not directly activate the oxygen-radical-producing NADPH oxidase activity of neutrophils but transfers desensitized G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) into an active signaling state by uncoupling GCPR from the cytoskeleton.

A pharmacological cocktail for arresting actin dynamics in living cells. [PDF]
The actin cytoskeleton is regulated by factors that influence polymer assembly, disassembly, and network rearrangement. Drugs that inhibit these events have been used to test the role of actin dynamics in a wide range of cellular processes.

Myosin V and iNOS expression is enhanced in J774 murine macrophages treated with IFN-gamma [PDF]
Actin-based motor protein requirements and nitric oxide (NO) production are important features of macrophage activity during phagocytosis or microbicidal processes.

Exploring the Substitution of the C21-OAc Moiety in [11]Cytochalasans: Synthesis and Evaluation of Fluorophore Conjugates. [PDF]
Via in silico docking of pyrichalasin H on G‐ and F‐actin, the C21‐OAc moiety is identified as a modifiable site tolerated for actin binding. Fluorescent [11]cytochalasan probes from pyrichalasin H and epoxycytochalasin C are obtained by selective C21‐OAc hydrolysis and acylation.

The Cytochalasins and Polyketides from a Mangrove Endophytic Fungus Xylaria arbuscula QYF
Twelve compounds, including four undescribed cytochalasins, xylariachalasins A–D (1–4), four undescribed polyketides (5–8), and four known cytochalasins (9–12), were isolated from the mangrove endophytic fungus Xylaria arbuscula QYF. Their structures and
