Max Hockenberry (Bear and Legant labs) We have developed an imaging based approach to directly visualize the motion of single molecules of actin and the arp2/3 complex in living cells. We have used this approach and preliminary data to assess how molecules of these proteins get to the front of the cell for incorporation in … Read more
