This is the second in a series of four videos on the cytoskeleton - Understanding Actin Filaments: Structure, Function, and Dynamics.
In this video, I look at actin filaments, an essential component of the cell's cytoskeleton.
I examine their structure, the process of filament formation, and their diverse functions in various cellular processes. I also discuss different types of actin filament structures, including contractile bundles (loose packing with myosin-II), gel-like networks (e.g., filamin), dendritic networks of branched actin molecules, and tight parallel bundles (e.g., fimbrin).
