Cofilin severs the actin filaments and creates barbed ends ... mechanisms that have been presented in the dendritic nucleation model 62. Cofilin and formins might also stimulate actin ...

In Greek mythology, the Hydra is a nine-headed monster slain by Heracles, each of whose heads grows back as soon as it is cut off. Discovered in the 18th century, Hydra is also the name given to a ...

This project is building beta-cell model including F-actin network and modeling interactions between insulin granules and F-actins. The cell model is generated and sampled using Integrative Modeling ...

For that purpose, we show in Figure 2 a schematic representation of the organization of the actin cytoskeleton filaments both at the leading edge and the uropod of the lymphocyte studied in Figure 1.

A Redditor 3D-printed a human rib model to help build a human model for practicing a complicated surgical procedure.

In response, CaMKIIβ dissociates from its bound actin filaments, forming punctate condensates, and becomes the site for FIP200 puncta formation. Importantly, the study demonstrates that CaMKIIβ ...

James has been writing about technology for years but has loved it since the early 90s. While his main areas of expertise are maker tools -- 3D printers, vinyl cutters, paper printers, and laser ...
