These amazing advances in cytoskeletal biophysics are the focus of the book, Mechanics of Motor Proteins and the Cytoskeleton by Jonathan (Joe) Howard, who is a leading expert in this field.

Cells have three filament types that together make up the cytoskeleton—actin, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. These filaments consist of repeating protein units and orchestrate vital ...

To achieve this goal, Leterrier and his team decided to look at the actin cytoskeleton in the presynaptic terminal, a specialized region of the neurons’ axons where the organization of this network of ...

Integrins link the actin cytoskeleton of a cell to various ... junctions that link epithelial cells are diverse in their protein makeup and function. The adhesive transmembrane proteins anchoring ...

Interaction with or modulation of the cytoskeleton or cytoskeletal proteins are indicated in the third column (Y). The reported activities of each protein are indicated in the fourth column.

Approximately 15% of the proteins produced in our bodies are destined for the ... In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin structures with the actin cytoskeleton and cellular ...
