Actin Migration Driven by Directional Assembly and Disassembly of Membrane-Anchored Actin Filaments

Actin and actin-associated proteins migrate within various cell types. To uncover the mechanism of their migration, we analyzed actin waves, which translocate actin and actin-associated proteins along neuronal axons toward the growth cones. We found that arrays of actin filaments constituting waves...
