  2. 1. The dynamic microfilament system : cellular organization of actin and profilin and their association with cell signalling

    Author : Lucie Hájková; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zoological Cell Biology; zoologisk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Active shape changes and movement of whole cells, and translocations within cells are essential to life. For instance, during embryogenesis cell migration is a central theme. Wound healing depends on increased and directed motile activity of several cell types. READ MORE

  4. 2. Elements in regulation of the microfilament system

    Author : Louise Hillberg; Uno Lindberg; Theresia Stradal; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cell motility; microfilament system; actin; tropomyosin; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with cell motility. The process of rapid actin polymerization in the lamellipodium of a migrating cell is responsible for its protrusion. Studies have been made on some of the elements behind this event and special interest has been focused on the protein tropomyosin. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Actin Filament System : Its Involvement in Cell Migration and Neurotransmitter Release

    Author : Anna-Karin Johnsson; Roger Karlsson; Stéphane Gasman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Actin; Profilin; Synaptotagmin; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Cell Biology; cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The microfilament system consists of actin filaments as the major component and is regulated by a number of actin binding proteins. It is juxtaposed to the plasma membrane where it forms a dense cortical weave from where it pervades into the cell interior. READ MORE
