Very proud that our manuscript on the assembly and aging of actin filaments (and my first publication as a postdoc) is finally online @Nature (open access!)

This was a great team effort from the @Intein lab @mpimoph.

A thread (1/17) Actin is a highly abundant protein and a major component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. It exists in two main forms, as monomer (G-actin) and as filament (F-actin). The dynamic turnover of actin filaments is crucial for controlling cell shape, polarity and movement.
