Imaging of Dynamic Changes of the Actin Cytoskeleton in Microextensions of Live NIH3T3 Cells with a GFP Fusion of the F-Actin Binding Domain of Moesin

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The cell surface undergoes continuous change during cell movement. This is characterized by transient protrusion and partial or complete retraction of microspikes, filopodia, and lamellipodia. This requires a dynamic actin cytoskelet...
