Molecular control of actin cortex organisation and dynamics

The cortex is a ~100nm thick layer of F-actin located under the cell membrane, rich in myosin II and actin-binding proteins. It is essential for cytokinesis, cell locomotion, and tissue morphogenesis. Despite its importance, our knowledge of the cortex is poor. Two actin nucleators, Diaph1 and the A...
