  2. 1. Filament assembly and structural studies of intermediate filament like protein, FilP, in Streptomyces coelicolor

    Author : Ala Javadi; Linda Sandblad; Martin Thanbichler; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytoskeleton; Intermediate filament-like; FilP; Streptomyces coelicolor; filament assembly; cryoelectron tomography; single particle analysis; crystallography; cellulose affinity;

    Abstract : The cytoskeleton, known as intracellular connected filaments, has a prominent role in cellular behavior, motility, and stability. The following three major types of polymers have been characterized as cytoskeleton in eukaryotes: microtubules that are 25 nm in diameter, actin filaments that are 7 nm in diameter, and intermediate filaments (IF) that are 10 nm in diameter.

  4. 2. Cytoskeletal filament systems : assembly, regulation, and interplay in mammalian cells

    Author : Mikael E Sellin; Martin Gullberg; Jeremy Thorner; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cell research; cellforskning;

    Abstract : The cell represents the basic unit of structure and function for all life. The interior of a eukaryotic cell is organized by an extensive array of protein filaments – collectively referred to as the cytoskeleton. These filaments serve diverse essential functions, e.g. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nestin : filament formation and expression in myogenesis and muscle disorders

    Author : Gunnar Sjöberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Intermediate filament; nestin; desmin; vimentin; myogenesis neuromusculardisorders; rhabdomyosarcoma;

    Abstract : Intermediate filaments (IF), together with microfilaments and microtubules, are the major components of the cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells. In myogenic cells three IF proteins are expressed; desmin, vimentin and nestin. READ MORE

  6. 4. Profilactin and the regulation of actin assembly and disassembly

    Author : Håkan Larsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Actin filament assembly and disassembly are believed to be fundamental steps in the mechanism of cell motility in non-muscle cells. Profilactin is a complex between monomeric actin and a small protein, profilin, which inhibits the polymerization of the actin. READ MORE

  7. 5. Study of the flow-induced structure and anisotropy in lyotropic liquid crystals for hierarchical composites

    Author : Adrian Rodriguez Palomo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; Lyotropic liquid crystals; SAXS; Hierarchical materials.; 3D printing; Rheology; Microfluidics; Birefringence microscopy;

    Abstract : Controlling the micro and nanostructure of materials is highly beneficial in order to tailor their physical properties. Extrusion-based 3D printing is a promising tool to produce hierarchical structures with controlled architecture. READ MORE
