Bement, W. M., Forscher, P. & Mooseker, M. S. A novel cytoskeletal structure involved in purse string wound closure and cell polarity maintenance.
Other displays seem somewhat out of context, like the late Sue Fuller's assemblages made of different weights of string wound together to create complex geometric patterns.
The ball was originally a cricket ball (cork centre, string-wound, and covered with leather), but plastic balls are also approved.
Technical explanation: For centuries, guitars were strung with 4 wound strings (a wire with thinner wire wound around it) and 2 plain (one wire) strings, the plain strings being the highest treble strings, E and B. Normally, the 3rd string, the G, is wound, making it a tough string to bend.
If actin and myosin II accumulate and form actomyosin purse-strings at wound sites in Dictyostelium cells, Dictyostelium will be a powerful model for research on contractile rings.
There were balls of string obsessively wound and re-wound - perhaps 1,000 of them.
All the tourist spots — Kenswick's Pencil Museum, Critch's Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, and every cave or vista point in between — have been duly noted on a map, a string of yarn wound around each push-pin to mark their route.
Flat-wound strings will provide a more mellow tone than a similar round-wound string, however will be harder to grip with your fingers during bends and fretting due to the smoother surface of the flat wrap wire.
Dunn also used flat wound strings that created a thudding timbre which matched Jackson's kick-drum sound.
Using the same cell migration assay, we find that when the cultures were stained with the F-actin marker, phalloidin, WT-PMP22 expressing cells display a nearly uninterrupted actin purse-string along the wound edge and only few lamellipodial protrusions.
Using round wound strings on a fretless bass can groove and damage the fingerboard over time, so stick with flat wound strings.
