This study highlights the importance of proteins that are involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, revealing fundamental roles for HEM1 in both innate and adaptive immune cells.

followed by the formation of new adhesions at the cell front that link the actin cytoskeleton to the substratum, generation of traction forces that move the cell forwards and disassembly of ...

Unlike prokaryotic cells, all eukaryotic cells have nuclei. Nuclei house most of a cell’s genetic information – much of it in the form of DNA – making a nucleus a sort of blueprint for building future ...

Approximately 15% of the proteins produced in our bodies are destined for the surface of our cells. Remarkably, these surface proteins ... In our lab, we aim to elucidate the interplay of clathrin ...
