We can manipulate the actin cytoskeleton to investigate this, using fluorescence microscopy to focus on the cortical cytoskeleton. My research is focused on this cortical actin, so a confocal ...

This study highlights the importance of proteins that are involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, revealing fundamental roles for HEM1 in both innate and adaptive immune cells.

In this recent study, the researcher and her team analyzed the role of gamma-actin—one of the components of the cytoskeleton ... A stiffer cortical membrane may be required to withstand ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside environment. This barrier function relies on specialized structures called ...

In secretory cells such as gonadotropes, the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is associated with a dense meshwork of actin filaments (termed cortical actin ... and release of LH requires an ...

In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular adhesions. This work enables us to apply our findings to understand disease processes and ...
