Actin Based Cell Motility
Julie Theriot Part 1: Good lecture for undergraduate students studying cell motility. Theriot provides nice examples of cell motility and a clear explanation of how actin forms dynamic, force generating filaments. Listeria monocytogenes as a model system is introduced.

Force Generation by Actin
Julie Theriot Part 2: Suitable for graduate students particularly in biophysics. Comparisons of models for actin force generation with actual experimental results from optical trap and atomic force microscopy.


Julie TheriotPart 3: Suitable for graduate students studying the cytoskeleton. A discussion of the role of the cytoskeleton in determining the morphological diversity of eukaryotes, and the morphological simplicity of bacteria (with a few intriguing exceptions!).
