New Study Challenges Long-Held Assumption in Cell Biology

A New Look at Coronin Proteins Challenges a Longstanding View of the Cell’s Actin Machinery For decades, coronin proteins have occupied a familiar place in cell biology textbooks. They have generally been described as regulators of actin, the filament-forming protein that builds much of the cytoskeleton and helps cells maintain their shape, move through tissues, organize their internal components and respond to changes in their environment. A ne…
