The actin cytoskeleton can form many different types of dynamic supramolecular arrays-from
linear bundles to branched actin filament networks which underlie its functional diversity and …

Actin networks are central to shaping and moving cells during animal development. Various
spatial cues activate conserved signal transduction pathways to polarize actin network …

Regulated cell shape change requires the induction of cortical cytoskeletal domains. Often,
local changes to plasma membrane (PM) topography are involved. Centrosomes organize …

Ingression of the plasma membrane is an essential part of the cell topology-distorting
repertoire and a key element in animal cell cytokinesis. Many embryos have rapid cleavage …

In the early syncytial Drosophila embryo, rapid changes in filamentous actin networks and
membrane trafficking pathways drive the formation and remodeling of cortical and furrow …

Expansive Arp2/3 actin networks and contractile actomyosin networks can be spatially and
temporally segregated within the cell, but the networks also interact closely at various sites …

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) undergoes a remarkable transition in morphology during
cell division to aid in the proper portioning of the ER. However, whether changes in ER …

Drosophila development begins as a syncytium. The large size of the one-cell embryo
makes it ideal for studying the structure, regulation, and effects of the cortical actin …

Actin networks undergo rearrangements that influence cell and tissue shape. Actin network
assembly and organization is regulated in space and time by a host of actin binding …

Structures and machines require smoothening of raw materials. Self-organized smoothening
guides cell and tissue morphogenesis and is relevant to advanced manufacturing. Across …
