DOI: 10.1002/cm.21848
Abstract: Mechanical forces play a crucial role in diverse physiological processes, such as cell migration, cytokinesis, and morphogenesis. The actin cytoskeleton generates a large fraction of the mechanical forces via molecular interactions between actin filaments (F‐actins)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jat.4649
Abstract: Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely exposed in populations worldwide and has negative effects on spermatogenesis both in animals and humans. The homeostasis of the actin cytoskeleton in the spermatogenic epithelium is crucial for spermatogenesis. Actin… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.120829
Abstract: Cells can sense mechanical signals through cytoskeleton reorganization. We previously discovered the formation of omni-directional actin protrusions upon compression loading, namely compression-induced actin protrusions (CAPs), in human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in 3D micro-tissues. Here,… read more here.

Abstract: The formin INF2 polymerizes a calcium-activated cytoplasmic network of actin filaments, which we refer to as CIA (calcium-induced actin). CIA plays important roles in multiple cellular processes, including mitochondrial dynamics and vesicle transport. Here, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/trf.15747
Abstract: During platelet storage, there are extensive changes in cytoskeleton and phosphatidylserine exposure. The intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, activated in stored platelets, is a major mediator these changes. Cofilin‐1 is an effector of actin reorganization.… read more here.
