Medically reviewed by Katrina Carter, DPT Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that can be consciously controlled, such as the muscles of your limbs, head, neck, and body. They are attached to bones ...

The mechanical and structural properties of actin cytoskeleton drive various cellular processes, including structural support of the plasma membrane and cellular motility. Actin monomers assemble into ...

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis in budding yeast requires the formation of a dynamic actin network that produces the force to invaginate the plasma membrane against the intracellular turgor pressure.

Actin has well established functions in cellular morphogenesis. However, it is not well understood how the various actin assemblies in a cell are kept in a dynamic equilibrium, in particular when ...
