The cytoskeleton of animal cells is one of the most complicated and functionally versatile
structures, involved in processes such as endocytosis, cell division, intra-cellular transport …

Tight coupling between biochemical and mechanical properties of the actin cytoskeleton
drives a large range of cellular processes including polarity establishment, morphogenesis …

A multitude of cellular and subcellular processes depend critically on the mechanical
deformability of the cytoplasm. We have recently introduced the method of particle-tracking …

The dynamic remolding of the actin cytoskeleton is a critical part of most cellular activities,
and malfunction of cytoskeletal proteins results in various human diseases. The transition …

Endocytosis, the process whereby the plasma membrane invaginates to form vesicles, is
essential for bringing many substances into the cell and for membrane turnover. The …

Cells use the actin cytoskeleton for many of their functions, including their division,
adhesion, mechanosensing, endo-and phagocytosis, migration, and invasion. Actin bundles …

The spectrin superfamily of proteins plays key roles in assembling the actin cytoskeleton in
various cell types, crosslinks actin filaments, and acts as scaffolds for the assembly of large …

All cells undergo rapid remodeling of their actin networks to regulate such critical processes
as endocytosis, cytokinesis, cell polarity, and cell morphogenesis. These events are driven …

Kinetochores are multicomponent assemblies that connect chromosomal centromeres to
mitotic-spindle microtubules. The Ndc80 complex is an essential core element of …

The scaffolding protein insulin receptor tyrosine kinase substrate p53 (IRSp53), a ubiquitous
regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, mediates filopodia formation under the control of Rho …
