Abstract: The integrity of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for plant immune signalling. Consequently, it is generally assumed that actin disruption reduces plant resistance to pathogen attack. Here, we demonstrate that actin depolymerization induced a dramatic… read more here.

Abstract: Mammalian cell migration in open spaces requires F-actin polymerization and myosin contraction. While many studies have focused on myosin's coupling to focal adhesion and stress fibers, the indirect effect of myosin contraction on cell migration… read more here.

DOI: 10.1172/jci.insight.158043
Abstract: Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, but its treatment remains challenging. Mice treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) develop hypertension, arterial stiffness, vascular dysfunction, and a downregulation of Rho-related BTB domain–containing protein 1… read more here.
