Have you always wondered how microvilli form? Where DOES that actin come from to form the core bundle? Come to the #BuildingTheCell (Part 1) subgroup tomorrow morning at 8:45 to find out! Room 29C. #CellBio2025 @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

When you’re imaging and your sample takes a Pikachu! Having fun playing around with our new #Nikon NSPARC for #FluorescenceFriday #microscopy #myosin #epithelial #cellbiology #meme @tyskalabactual.bsky.social

A non-muscle α-actinin is an intrinsic component of the cardiac Z-disc and regulates sarcomere turnover, contractility, and heart remodeling

Cardiac sarcomeres generate the fundamental forces behind each heartbeat and are thought to contain only muscle-specific cytoskeletal proteins. We show that a widely expressed actin cross-linking prot...
