The actin-related protein 2/3 (Arp2/3) complex is a central nucleator of branched actin filaments, essential for numerous cellular processes. Using superresolution imaging, we demonstrate that Arp2/3 is a component of the membrane periodic skeleton (MPS)—a highly ordered actin ring-spectrin lattice in the submembrane a...

Ectopic expression of NGN1, BRN3A and ISLET1 (NBI) from a safe harbor locus in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) yielded robust differentiation into functional sensory neurons (iNBI-SNs) within seven days. Single nucleus transcriptomics identified peripheral sensory neuron profiles of nociceptors and mechanorecept...

Actin polymerization into curved and ring‐shaped structures is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that cells use to generate force, transmit tension, and maintain membrane architecture. In neurons, super‐resolution imaging has revealed a striking periodic submembranous scaffold in axons, composed of circumferential...
