Alushin's lab specializes in understanding the cytoskeleton—the network of protein filaments, including actin, that form a cell's infrastructure. Actin serves many functions: it provides cells with an ...

The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made of filamentous proteins ... but they are generally strong and ropelike. Their functions are primarily mechanical and, as a class, intermediate ...

The cytoskeleton is involved in all main functions of immune cells related to the response to infection. Studies of the cytoskeletal proteome can vastly contribute to our understanding of ...

Integrins link the actin cytoskeleton of a cell to ... This information helps the cells arrange themselves, coordinate their functions, and even know when to grow and when to die.

Now the team has found that the gene's activation of actin cytoskeleton also enhances immune function. "Our research shows ...

cell biological, and genetic approaches to uncover the general principles underlying regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and to reveal how defects in actin dynamics affect the physiological ...
