Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

Actin is the most abundant protein in eukaryotic cells, at cellular concentrations generally above 100 mM. This abundance has made actin a focus of biochemical research since its identification by ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from ...

Water flow plays a surprising role in the formation of new blood vessels as zebrafish develop, RIKEN researchers have ...

In all eukaryotic cells, actin protein assembles to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout the cell. The actin filaments give the cell its structure, enable the cell to move, and ...

We are certain to learn a lot more in the future about the interesting molecular devices used by EPEC to infect its host cells, and, more fundamentally, about the control of the actin cytoskeleton ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

Actin, a family of proteins that help give cells their shape, are abundant throughout the body. F-actin forms filaments that ...
