Waves, rings, and trails: The scenic landscape of axonal actin
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this article is to provide the reader a snapshot of recent studies on axonal actin--largely emerging from superresolution and live-imaging experiments--and place this new information in context with earlier studies.

Actin hotspots blaze a trail along axons
Actin's role in guiding axonal growth cones towards their target is relatively well understood, but the cytoskeletal protein's function further back in the axonal shaft remains uncertain. Indeed, even the organization of actin in this part of the neuron is unclear. Ganguly et al. now describe how " hotspots " along the axon produce dynamic " trails " of actin fi laments that deliver actin to sy...
متن کاملA dynamic formin-dependent deep F-actin network in axons
Although actin at neuronal growth cones is well-studied, much less is known about actin organization and dynamics along axon shafts and presynaptic boutons. Using probes that selectively label filamentous-actin (F-actin), we found focal "actin hotspots" along axons-spaced ∼3-4 µm apart-where actin undergoes continuous assembly/disassembly. These foci are a nidus for vigorous actin polymerizatio...

متن کاملDeveloping a Quality Assessment Index System for Scenic Forest Management: A Case Study from Xishan Mountain, Suburban Beijing
The public’s demand for more and better forest landscapes is increasing as scenic forest tours flourish in China, especially in the capital, Beijing. How to improve the quality of scenic forests has become one of the greatest concerns of urban foresters. Although numerous studies have focused on scenic forest management, to date, no reports have been found on developing a quality assessment ind...
متن کاملA Planar, Layered Ultra-wideband Metamaterial Absorber for Microwave Frequencies
In this paper, an ultra-wideband metamaterial absorber is designed and simulated. The proposed absorber is planar and low profile. It is made of a copper sheet coated with two dielectric layers. Each unit cell of the metamaterial structure is composed of multiple metallic split rings, which are patterned on the top and middle boundaries of the dielectrics. The designed absorber utilizes differe...
