Abstract excerpt
Cellular processes such as cytokinesis, apoptosis and migration rely heavily on the myosin-based contractility of the γ-actin network in the submembrane cortex. Direct measurements of γ-actin-myosin interactions through morphological and depletion investigations remain elusive. Here, we use a synthetic nanomachine, consisting of an array of myosin motors carried on a nanopositioner and brought to interact with an...
