Welcome to Dr. Marucho’s Research Group Website!
In this website, we provide valuable information and suitable tools to investigate the polyelectrolyte nature of cytoskeleton filaments.
Our research group investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the electrical signal propagation, stability, and structure formation of actin filaments and microtubules under different molecular (wild type, isoforms, mutants) and environmental (physiological and non-physiological) conditions. Ultimately, these studies may determine whether molecular and cellular alterations substantially affect these cytoskeletal properties and trigger abnormalities in various disease states.
