However, this role is not very well understood. Here we create a gel with polymerizing actin monomers which contains polystyrene beads. The gel is imaged over a set time period using brightfield ...

No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin. Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have ...

Our preliminary data indicates that ECM stiffness modulates levels of actin monomer and Lamin-A within the nucleus. Our previous data also demonstrates a role of nuclear actin in the regulation of ...

"But we found that the actin network actually serves as a modulator ... Quintanilla et al, Local monomer levels and established filaments potentiate non-muscle myosin 2 assembly, Journal of ...
