Classical cadherin adhesion receptors influence tissue integrity in health and disease. Their biological function is intimately linked to the actin cytoskeleton. To date, research has largely focused ...

Actin cytoskeleton is essential for eukaryotic cells. To exert its countless cellular functions, actin undergoes dynamic remodeling orchestrated by the large number of actin-interacting factors.

In order to move, a body needs a strong scaffold. This is not only true on a macroscopic level, where animals rely on skeletons to support their muscles. It is also true on a cellular level: the ...

Researchers found that attractant peptides released by female tissues initiate rapid depolymerization and repolymerization of actin at the leading edge of the pollen tube tip, steering its direction ...
