The mammalian diaphanous-related formins (mDIAs), originally characterized for their ability to nucleate unbranched actin, can also regulate microtubule stabilization during cell polarization and ...

Love my dogs (7a, 300m), new route on Lastoni di Formin (Dolomites) by Mario Dibona and Gretchen Alexander. New route on the Lastoni di Formin (Dolomites) at the hands of Mario Dibona and Gretchen ...

Bolted climb put up by Bruno Sartorelli and Danilo Serafini up the second bastion of Mondeval, the beautiful pillar that together with the others forms the sunny south Face of Lastoni di Formin. Park ...

Formins are made of two identical parts (red, orange) that encircle the actin (grey) filament in a ring-like conformation. “Our discovery allows us to interpret decades of biochemical studies on ...

Our lab is focused on the question of how cells dynamically assemble and reorganize their actin cytoskeletons to govern cell shape, cell movement, and cell division. Every cell type has a unique ...

A defect in formin means that the whole snail is 'reversed', a mirror image of others in the same species. Dr Davison, in the University's School of Life Sciences, said: "While animals tend to be ...
