The actin cytoskeleton is an integral component of the cell-cell adherens junction complex. We used fluorescence labeling of actin filaments and time-lapse laser scanning confocal microscopy to investigate the functional relationship between the organization of the actin cytoskeleton and formation o
During actin polymerization, it has been theorized that the actin filament length distribution initially grows in the form of a Gaussian before converting to produce that of an exponential. However, it has been difficult to demonstrate this experimentally. In this study, we use modern fluorescence m
