1. The Actin Filament System : Its Involvement in Cell Migration and Neurotransmitter Release
Sammanfattning : The microfilament system consists of actin filaments as the major component and is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins. It is juxtaposed to the plasma membrane where it forms a dense cortical weave from where it pervades into the cell interior. LÄS MER
2. Profilin:actin in cell motility : A search for profilin:actin binding proteins
Sammanfattning : The profilin:actin complex is a major source of actin for actin filament growth in vivo. A number of proteins regulating either profilin or actin has been described since profilin:actin was isolated during the 1970s. Since then, profilin and actin and their binding partners have been intensively studied. LÄS MER
3. Cross-linked Profilin:actin - A tool to study actin dynamics in non-muscle cells
Sammanfattning : The microfilament system, consisting of actin and a number of auxiliary proteins, is fundamental for cell motility. Its dynamic organization depends on receptor-mediated signals, leading to rapid polymerizations and depolymerizations of actin. LÄS MER
4. Biophysical studies of the actin-myosin motor system and applications in nanoscience
Sammanfattning : The actin-myosin motor system plays important roles in cellular processes. In addition, actin and myosin have been used for developments towards nanotechnological applications in recent years. LÄS MER
5. On the mechanics of actin and intermediate filament networks and their contribution to cellular mechanics
Sammanfattning : The mechanical behaviour of cells is essential in ensuring continued physiological function, and deficiencies therein can result in a variety of diseases. Also, altered mechanical response of cells can in certain cases be an indicator of a diseased state, and even actively promoting progression of pathology. LÄS MER
