or can form filaments (F-actin, filamentous actin) and mediates multiple cellular functions, including cell migration, contractility and cytokinesis. Epithelial cells express two isoforms of ...

Their functions are primarily mechanical and, as a class, intermediate filaments are less dynamic than actin filaments ... lamins are found in all cell types, where they form a meshwork that ...

Alushin's lab specializes in understanding the cytoskeleton—the network of protein filaments, including actin, that form a cell's infrastructure. Actin serves many functions: it provides cells ...
