Visualization of filamentous actin (F-actin) in living cells is critical for the study of morphogenetic processes such as cell division, migration or polarization. We recently described in these ...

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that when a common cell structural protein called filamentous actin, or F-actin, builds up in the brain, it inhibits a key process that removes ...

Although a crystal structure of filamentous actin (F-actin) has not been obtained, the modelled structure 44,45 is likely to be correct for the most part. A crystal structure of the F-actin–S1 ...
