As active elements of our cells, actin filaments support the cell&#8217;s fusion, movement and are involved in many other cellular processes. Importantly, they are also a major constituent of muscle cells. The structural complexity of these filaments has fascinated scientists since its discovery in the 1940s\u2014and has opened a sea of unanswered questions behind their ability to facilitate many processes of the cell.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-10-pocket-full-moleculeshow-actin-filaments.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A pocket full of water molecules\u2014how actin filaments drive the cell&#8217;s motion<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actin filaments are protein fibers that make up the internal skeleton of the cell.
