Instability-driven oscillations of elastic microfilaments [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2018 Cilia and flagella are highly conserved slender organelles that exhibit a variety of rhythmic beating patterns from non-planar cone-like motions to planar wave-like deformations. Although their internal structure, composed of a microtubule-based axoneme driven by dynein motors, is known, the mechanism responsible for these beating patterns remains ...

Caldesmon regulates actin dynamics to influence cranial neural crest migration in Xenopus [PDF]
, 2011 Caldesmon (CaD) is an important actin modulator that associates with actin filaments to regulate cell morphology and motility. Although extensively studied in cultured cells, there is little functional information regarding the role of CaD in migrating ...

Nomofungin: A New Microfilament Disrupting Agent. [PDF]
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2001 A new alkaloid, nomofungin, has been isolated from the fermentation broth of an unidentified endophytic fungus obtained from the bark of Ficus microcarpa L. The structure of nomofungin was determined by application of spectroscopic methods. The absolute stereochemistry of nomofungin was assigned by using the exciton chirality method.

Spotting plants’ microfilament morphologies and nanostructures [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Microfibers existing in the tracheary systems of plants are crucial for the plants to survive. These microfilaments are curled up, forming left-handed helices that make the contour of tubes responsible for the transport of water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. The microfilaments present mechanical properties that vary
