Dendritic spines are small actin-rich protrusions from neuronal dendrites that form the
postsynaptic part of most excitatory synapses and are major sites of information processing and …

Stress fibres are contractile acto‐myosin structures found from many types of non‐muscle
cells, where they are involved in adhesion, motility and morphogenesis. Stress fibres typically …

How will the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic develop in the coming months
and years? Based on an expert survey, we examine key aspects that are likely to influence …

Stress fibers play a central role in adhesion, motility, and morphogenesis of eukaryotic cells,
but the mechanism of how these and other contractile actomyosin structures are generated …

Actin-depolymerizing factor (ADF)/cofilins are small actin-binding proteins found in all
eukaryotes. In vitro, ADF/cofilins promote actin dynamics by depolymerizing and severing actin …

Dendritic spines are small protrusions along dendrites where the postsynaptic components
of most excitatory synapses reside in the mature brain. Morphological changes in these actin-…

Background Cell migration and morphogenesis are driven by both protrusive and contractile
actin filament structures. The assembly mechanisms of lamellipodial and filopodial actin …

Cyclase-associated proteins (CAPs) are highly conserved actin monomer binding proteins
present in all eukaryotes. However, the mechanism by which CAPs contribute to actin …

COVID-19 cases are very high across Europe. Current measures are not reducing virus
spread sufficiently, and new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) …

In contrast to the highly dynamic actin cytoskeleton in non-muscle cells, actin filaments in
muscle sarcomeres are thought to be relatively stable and undergo dynamics only at their ends…
