Cytoskeletal dynamics movies

  • See beads whiz around: Actin comets and motility induced by an activator of an actin nucleator stuck onto beads
  • A GFP-tagged protein that binds only to the plus ends of growing microtubules 
  • Beautiful movies of cells using a microscopy trick that we didn't talk about in the course (lighting up cells with a super-thin sheet of light coming in from the side)
