How cells move – and how they regulate this
Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research established profilin as a master regulator of Arp2/3 complex-dependent actin networks, resolving controversies in cell migration research. The study's findings provide insights into the molecular logic of building branched actin networks driving membrane protrusion.
