New Video Posted: Understanding Microtubules: Structure, Function, and Dynamics.

I have posted the third in my series of four videos on the cytoskeleton - Understanding Microtubules: Structure, Function, and Dynamics.

In the video, I take a quick look at microtubules, one of the essential filaments that form the cytoskeleton of cells. I explore their structure, function, and dynamic nature.

New Video Posted: Understanding Actin Filaments: Structure, Function, and Dynamics

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).
