Actin filaments are also involved in cytokinesis and cell movement (Figure 3). Intermediate filaments come in several types, but they are generally strong and ropelike. Their functions are ...

and plays important roles for example in cell motility and morphology. In the nucleus, actin has been linked to many processes that regulate gene expression, such as transcription factor regulation, ...

F-actin forms filaments that are essential for maintaining cell structure and many other functions. The researchers, led by ...

Our group uses a wide range of biophysical, biochemical, cell biological, and genetic approaches to uncover the general principles underlying regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and to reveal how ...

Now the team has found that the gene's activation of actin cytoskeleton also enhances immune function. "Our research shows ...
