9602237 This award will provides renewed support to a Research Training Group in Cytoskeleton Biology at the University of Minnesota. Support will be phased out gradually during the tenure of the award as other sources of funding are secured. The faculty group includes members of the departments of Cell Biology and Neuroanatomy, Genetics and Cell Biology, Biochemistry, and Plant Biology. The funds awarded will provide stipends for graduate students and postdoctoral trainees, will support research participation by undergraduates, and will defray part of the cost of the trainees' research. In addition, funds will be used to purchase specialized research equipment to be used by trainees and to bring investigators from other research and academic institutions to the campus for seminars . The cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells contains a dynamic, fibrous network of actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments that participate in virtually every aspect of cellular form and function. Because of the ubiquity of the network and its role in cellular processes as diverse as gene expression, cell replication, cell division, and cell movement, studies of the cytoskeleton provide an excellent focus for multidisciplinary training in at the forefront of modern biology.

9602237该奖项将为明尼苏达大学细胞骨架生物学研究培训小组提供新的支持。在奖项有效期内，随着其他资金来源的获得，将逐步取消支助。教师小组包括细胞生物学和神经解剖学、遗传学和细胞生物学、生物化学和植物生物学等部门的成员。授予的资金将为研究生和博士后培训生提供津贴，支持本科生参与研究，并支付部分培训生的研究费用。此外，经费将用于购买专门的研究设备供受训者使用，并将其他研究和学术机构的调查人员带到校园参加讨论会。所有真核细胞的细胞质都包含一个由肌动蛋白丝、微管和中间丝组成的动态纤维网络，它们几乎参与细胞形态和功能的各个方面。由于网络的普遍性及其在细胞过程中的作用，如基因表达、细胞复制、细胞分裂和细胞运动，细胞骨架的研究为现代生物学前沿的多学科培训提供了一个极好的焦点。
