Curving Actin Across Systems: Do Axonal Actin Rings Share Common Underlying Mechanisms?
Actin polymerization into curved and ring‐shaped structures is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that cells use to generate force, transmit tension, and maintain membrane architecture. In neurons, super‐resolution imaging has revealed a striking periodic submembranous scaffold in axons, composed of circumferential...
