1. Actomyosin in biocomputation
Abstract : There exist complex mathematical problems that are important in real world applications such as weather prediction, molecular modelling, network route optimization and more. In general, such problems are solved using supercomputers with higher computing efficiency but this also consumes high energy along with high production and maintenance cost. READ MORE

2. Characterization and optimization of the in vitro motility assay for fundamental studies of myosin II
Abstract : Myosin II is the molecular motor responsible for muscle contraction. It transforms the chemical energy in ATP into mechanical work while interacting with actin filaments in so called cross-bridge cycles. Myosin II or its proteolytic fragments e.g. READ MORE

3. Biophysical studies of the actin-myosin motor system and applications in nanoscience
Abstract : The actin-myosin motor system plays important roles in cellular processes. In addition, actin and myosin have been used for developments towards nanotechnological applications in recent years. READ MORE

4. To unite or disconnect : AmotL2 in tubulogenesis and tumor invasion
Abstract : For an epithelial- or endothelial cell sheet or ‐tissue to form, individual cells must come together unite and connect. Contacts to adjacent cells and underlying matrix must be initiated, and the junctional proteins mediating the contacts must be further linked to intracellular cytoskeletal networks. READ MORE

5. Cytoskeletal Regulation During Embryonic Development in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract : The development of multicellular organisms is associated with extensive rearrangements of cells and tissues. The driving force for these rearrangements is generated by the cell's actin cytoskeleton. During many morphogenetic processes dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton is regulated by small GTPases of the Rho-family. READ MORE
