Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms ... of Motor Proteins and the Cytoskeleton by Jonathan (Joe) Howard ...

However, most animal cells have complex morphologies because the membrane adheres strongly to the cytoskeleton. In animal cells, movement of membrane into an endocytic vesicle or lamellipodium ...

The self-assembled polymer-based fibrous network mimicked the structure and function of a natural cytoskeleton. The coacervate platform was compatible with various artificial cell architectures ...

Our group uses a wide range of biophysical, biochemical, cell biological, and genetic approaches to uncover the general principles underlying regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, and to reveal how ...
