Figure 1: Model of Spir and Cappuccino cooperation in actin nucleation/polymerization. Together these findings establish actin nucleation by multiple WH2 domains as a general mechansim.

THE customary theory for the nucleation of ice on a crystalline substrate is based on the probability that a spherical cap of ice will grow, by statistical fluctuations, to a size such that the ...

Researchers from Osaka University find that peristaltic pump action and high shear flow forces promote amyloid nucleation.

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...
