Development is a complex process that occurs throughout the life cycle. F-actin, a major component of the cytoskeleton, is essential for the morphogenesis of tissues and organs during development.

In this Perspective, we summarize recent progress in polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) for the rational synthesis of block copolymer nanoparticles with various morphologies. Much of the PISA ...

Nonmuscle myosin II (NM2) filaments have essential roles in many cellular processes that require the dynamic relocation of filamentous myosin. We find that addition of ATP to polymerized regulatory ...

The universal 3′-terminal CCA sequence of tRNA is built and/or synthesized by the CCA-adding enzyme, CTP:(ATP) tRNA nucleotidyltransferase. This RNA polymerase has no nucleic acid template, but ...

Reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) of styrene has been successfully performed in miniemulsion, mediated by a very efficient RAFT agent: 1-phenylethyl ...
