In recent years, the analysis of structure and function of such complexes has shed new light on actin's role in cellular and tissue morphogenesis, locomotion and various forms of intracellular motility, but also on its role in nuclear processes like chromatin architecture and transcription. Progress in understanding these different physiological phenomena, but also in unravelling the basis of actin-based pathophysiological processes has been made by combining video microscopy, molecular biology, genetics  and biochemistry. Thus, the current research on actin, as ongoing in many international laboratories, is a "hot spot" in basic and translational research in life sciences. In this book on  "The Actin Cytoskeleton", twelve internationally renowned authors present specific chapters that cover their recent work concerned with the various roles of actin mentioned above. This comprehensive volume is therefore an attractive handbook for teachers and students in many fields of medicine and pharmacology. 410 0$aHandbook of Experimental Pharmacology ;$v235 606 $aPharmacology 606 $aCell physiology 606 $aPharmacology/Toxicology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007 606 $aCell Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010 615 0$aPharmacology. 615 0$aCell physiology. 615 14$aPharmacology/Toxicology. 615 24$aCell Physiology. 676 $a571.654072 702 $aJockusch$b Brigitte M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158672603321 996 $aActin cytoskeleton$91557183 997 $aUNINA
