This dynamic organization is required for essential nuclear processes, such as gene expression and maintenance of genomic integrity. We study how actin operates in the nucleus to regulate nuclear ...

The new study, published in the journal Nature Communications, reveals that actin—a protein in butterfly's ...

Visualization of filamentous actin (F-actin) in living cells is critical for the study of morphogenetic processes such as cell division, migration or polarization. We recently described in these ...

No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin. Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have ...

Actin, a family of proteins that help give cells their shape, are abundant throughout the body. F-actin forms filaments that are essential for maintaining cell structure and many other functions ...

The actin filament exists as a structure of the fixed length and bears the muscle contraction and the adjustment on a muscular inside. The circulation and the molecule movements of the polymerization ...

The institute harbors ~35 research groups and 250 researchers, and it operates at the highest international level. The ‘Actin-based molecular machines’ group of Academy Professor Pekka Lappalainen at ...
