Sentences with phrase «of the actin network»

Teams from CNRS, the Université de Strasbourg and Inserm, led by Daniel Riveline [1], Jean - Marie Lehn [2] and Marie - France Carlier [3], have synthesized molecules capable of causing rapid growth of actin networks, one of the components of the cytoskeleton.

In addition, they have identified the growth mechanism of the actin network by comparative in vivo and in vitro studies in order to ensure the validity of the process.

Not exact matches

One of the casino bidders in the Newburgh vicinity, Greenetrack, has ties to Al Sharpton's National Actin Network.

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

Actin is a filamentous protein, which together with other cytoskeletal elements forms a dynamic network of filaments that provide both structural support, as well as critical functional capabilities, to the cell.

Actin allows vital actions to be performed by assembling and disassembling itself spontaneously, continually and rapidly in the form of filaments that organize themselves and form networks of parallel bundles or intertwined meshes (known as lamellar networks).

Szymanski and his fellow researchers found that actin fibers run throughout the cell, forming a network of long - distance «roadways» along which additional materials for the cell wall are transported.

«How this protein complex influences the actin network of the cell was a major discovery,» Szymanski said.

Derived from supramolecular chemistry [4], the new compounds synthesized by the researchers have original properties: within several minutes, they bring about the growth of lamellar networks of actin filaments.

Immediately adjacent to the cell membrane is a network of protein cables or filaments known as the actin cortex.

Actin, the protein that makes up the cytoskeleton, can form long filaments that grow in one direction and networks of filaments.

Actin filaments form different polymer networks with versatile mechanical properties that depend on their spatial organization and the presence of cross-linkers.

On the basis of analysis of this system, we proposed a model for filopodial formation in which actin filaments of a preexisting dendritic network are elongated by inhibition of capping and subsequently cross-linked into bundles by fascin.
