Cellular fluorescence staining converts cell morphology and subcellular structures into observable and quantifiable spatial signals through selective labeling of the nucleus, F-actin, microtubules, plasma membrane, and organelles. The key to experimental design is not simply increasing the ...
Microfilaments are mainly formed by the polymerization of actin and are an important component of the cytoskeleton. They participate in the maintenance of cell morphology, adhesion and migration, cytokinesis, endocytic transport, stress fiber formation, and the establishment of cell polarity.
