Spectacular progress has been made in our understanding of the physical processes that underlie the functions and mechanisms of cytoskeletal proteins. For example, the atomic structures of actin ...

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division.

We aim to understand the molecular logic behind the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton at endocytic sites and how disturbances in this process affect physiology and disease progression. Leonardo is ...
