Schneider et al. monitored the incorporation of β-actin labeled with a green fluorescent protein (actin–GFP) into stereocilia from cultured neonate rat auditory cells. They observed that incorporation ...

Actin proteins group together to form a network of thin filaments that spread throughout a cell. This actin network is dynamic, meaning that the filaments can either grow or shrink to fit the ...

We recently described in these pages the 17-amino-acid Lifeact peptide, which can be used to specifically label F-actin without adverse effects on actin dynamics 1. Although this marker has since ...

Cell division is the process of a cell splitting into two genetically identical daughter cells. The actin protein seen in this video is essential for successful cell division. While actin has several ...
