Abstract: The α-actinin family of actin cross-linking proteins have been implicated in driving tumor cell metastasis through regulation of the actin cytoskeleton; however, there has been little investigation into whether these proteins can influence tumor cell… read more here.

Abstract: Cytokinesis, as the final step of cell division, plays an important role in fungal growth and proliferation. In the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, defective cytokinesis is able to induce abnormal multinuclear or nonnucleated cells and… read more here.

Abstract: Damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are molecules exposed or released by dead cells that trigger or modulate immunity and tissue repair. In vertebrates, the cytoskeletal component F-actin is a DAMP specifically recognised by DNGR-1, an innate… read more here.
