The acrosome reaction (AR) is a regulated exocytotic process. In several cell types, an actin network situated under the plasma membrane (PM) acts as a physical barrier to prevent this exocytosis. In seeking a function for a cortical skeleton in guinea pig spermatozoa, the PM and the outer acrosomal

Cauda epididymal guinea pig spermatozoa are arranged in rouleaux, with the sperm heads stacked one on top of the other; the plasma membranes over the apical segment of the acrosomes of adjacent sperm are linked and form non-fusigenic "junctional" zones. A complex structural and temporal sequence of
Hepatic stellate cell activation, thought to play a key role in fibrosis of the liver, is characterized by changes in cellular morphology. The intracellular signals regulating morphological alterations associated with stellate cell activation are uncertain. The ras-like guanosine triphosphatebinding
