Live cell imaging of actin dynamics in the filamentous fungus aspergillus nidulans.

STED nanoscopy of actin dynamics in synapses deep inside living brain slices.

Not exact matches

Autophagosomes arise from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-- a network of tubular membranes — and actin dynamics is key in their formation and movement.

The link between endocytosis and generation of cortical actin waves may provide deeper insight into how cells maintain the composition and dynamics of the plasma membrane.

This study reports for the first time the occurrence of collective dynamics of endocytosis and shows how this regulates the onset of cortical actin waves.

«These findings demonstrate that efficient actin filament disassembly by GMF is essential for rapid dynamics of cell protrusions, and that this dynamics are important for cell migration in a three - dimensional tissue environment,» says Minna Poukkula from the research group of professor Pekka Lappalainen.

«Our findings are consistent with the idea that an imbalance of protein synthesis and actin dynamics contribute to physiological problems in FXS mice,» explains New York University Professor Eric Klann, director NYU's Center for Neural Science and the study's senior author.

Notably, it also disrupts the activity of a specific protein, CYFIP1, which regulates eIF4E as well as actin dynamics and the structure of dendrites — components of a neuron where inputs from other neurons are located.

The rapid onset of the freezing phenotype led to the hypothesis that Mcf1 may be acting on a pre-existing eukaryotic molecular switch governing actin cytoskeletal dynamics such as the rho GTPases.

WAFL, a new protein involved in regulation of early endocytic transport at the intersection of actin and microtubule dynamics.

We further aim at deciphering the F - actin cytsokeletal dynamics of hematopoietic cells, important for migration, adhesion, homing.

Meanwhile, another group of French researchers identified the same protein, ARHGAP10, as a partner with two other molecules — Arf1 and Arf6 — involved in both actin dynamics deep within the cell and the turnover of adherens junctions.

The switch - associated protein 70 (SWAP - 70) bundles actin filaments and contributes to the regulation of F - actin dynamics.

Analysis of F - actin cytoskeletal dynamics, integrin activity, cell migration and other cell biology parameters

Actin dynamics and organisation are tightly regulated processes responsible for the range of different and specific cellular functions in response to various stimuli.

It is therefore essential to understand how changes in synaptic transmission can regulate the organization and dynamics of actin binding proteins (ABPs).

Specifically, the team hypothesizes that microRNA miR - 24 is a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton dynamics (i.e. the inner structural support of a cell); therefore, it plays a critical role in regulating multiple disease processes, including the angiogenesis (blood vessel growth), inflammation, and fibrosis (thickening and scarring of tissue) associated with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in wet AMD.

In this review, we will provide a detailed description of the organization and dynamics of F - actin and ABPs in dendritic spines and will discuss the current models explaining how the actin cytoskeleton sustains both structural and functional synaptic plasticity.
