Dynamic actin filament assembly and turnover underlie diverse biological processes, such as cell motility, adhesion formation and vesicular trafficking 1. However, in certain differentiated and ...

Actin nucleation is inherently slow, and cells have developed specialized machineries to accelerate this process. Formin proteins nucleate unbranched actin filaments that elongate from their ...

Simulations of the Universe on the largest scales show an unexpected resemblance to nerve cells in the human brain, with galaxy clusters playing the role of the cell body and thinner filaments of ...

Despite thousands of years of research, astronomers know next to nothing about how the universe is structured. One strong and accepted theory is that large galaxies are clustered together on ...
