Both migration and phagocytosis require actin polymerization, and unsurprisingly, HEM1-deficient neutrophils showed decreased actin polymerization and a diffuse distribution of F-actin.

The actin cytoskeleton provides force for dynamic cellular processes, such as motility, morphogenesis, cell division, endocytosis, and phagocytosis. The organization and dynamics of actin filaments ...

Phagocytosis is a fundamental mechanism used by the body to resist pathogens and restore physiological homeostasis. Herein, to identify small molecules with anti-inflammatory properties via ...

The forces induced by actin polymerization drive the movement of the plasma membrane and are essential for cellular functions ...
