Simultaneous Measurements of Actin Filament Turnover, Filament Fraction, and Monomer Diffusion in Endothelial Cells
(Biophysical Society, 1998-09)The analogous techniques of photoactivation of fluorescence (PAF) and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) have been applied previously to the study of actin dynamics in living cells. Traditionally, ... -
Theoretical Estimates of Mechanical Properties of the Endothelial Cell Cytoskeleton
(Biophysical Society, 1996)Current modeling of endothelial cell mechanics does not account for the network of F-actin that permeates the cytoplasm. This network, the distributed cytoplasmic structural actin (DCSA), extends from apical to basal ... -
Interpreting Photoactive Fluorescence Microscopy Measurements of Steady-State Actin Dynamics
(Biophysical Society, 1995)A continuum model describing the steady-state actin dynamics of the cytoskeleton of living cells Has been developed to aid in the interpretation of photoactivated fluorescence experiments. In a simplified cell geometry, ...
