Actin Cytoskeleton: Profilin Gives Cells an Edge.

Actin Cytoskeleton: Profilin Gives Cells an Edge.

Abstract
A new study reports that the actin-monomer-binding protein profilin 1 dictates protrusion character at the cell edge. These findings help explain how distinct, tunable actin polymerization pathways collaborate to form higher-order cellular structures.
