Cellular motility is orchestrated by the dynamic assembly and disassembly of actin filaments coupled to the force-generating activity of myosin motors. Globular actin (G-actin) polymerises into ...

Myosin motors, particularly nonmuscle myosin II (NM2) isoforms, are central to the generation and transmission of mechanical forces that drive cell movement and maintain cell–matrix and cell–cell ...

Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key locations inside cells. Intense efforts have focused on uncovering the ...

Chara corallina myosin XI (CcXI) drives the movement of actin filaments, which spontaneously form ring-like structures due to a slight curvature that leads to polar alignment. Living cells are highly ...

Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan. Instead, order emerges on its own from countless interactions between ...

Temperature is a key physiological factor that determines the speed of immune reactions. While this may seem obvious, it has remained largely unexplored at the single-cell level-until now. Stefan ...
