abstract：:Cofilin, a key regulator of actin filament dynamics, binds to G- and F-actin and promotes actin filament turnover by stimulating depolymerization and severance of actin filaments. In this study, cytochalasin D (CytoD), a widely used inhibitor of actin dynamics, was found to act as an inhibitor of the G-actin-cofilin i...
