No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin. Biophysics, biochemistry, physiology, classical genetics and molecular genetics have ...

Moreover, calcium influx preceded blebbing and myosin was activated at the front of blebbing cells. These processes, the authors proposed, induce the plasma membrane to detach from the underlying ...

pull the cell membrane in at the center of the cell in an ever-contracting ring that eventually pinches the membrane off; this results in the ultimate separation of the two daughter cells. Finally, ...
