Researchers at Kanazawa University report in eLife on deciphering the actin structure-dependent preferential cooperative binding of cofilin.

An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles.

This central actin structure can push the surrounding obstacles away, orthogonally to the direction of movement, generating space for the cells and helping them overcome even the tightest holes.

An artificial cytoskeleton imitating cells’ internal scaffold provides evidence of a controversial concept called ...

Forces generated by the actin cytoskeleton are highly dependent on the structural properties of molecular motors called myosin.

A new clinical study of adults with moderate joint health issues demonstrated that a novel iminosugar-containing dietary supplement ingredient, marketed as Q-actin , improved joint function and ...
