The paper quantifies Myo10 molecule numbers in filopodia, revealing high concentrations that exceed actin binding sites and correlate with filopodial dynamics.

The paper introduces an optogenetic Lifeact variant for enhanced actin imaging, allowing light-controlled binding to reduce background and avoid cell perturbations.

This study tracks myosin motor movement in T cell immunological synapses, revealing distinct actin networks that support structural and trafficking functions.

This paper develops an optogenetic tool to control myosin VI activation with high spatial and temporal resolution, revealing how it integrates multiple signals for site-specific function.
