Abstract
Parallel actin bundles are present in a diverse array of structures, where they are critical determinants of cellular shape and physiology. In the past 18 months, new findings have solidified the concept that parallel actin bundles are assembled in cells through the sequential action of multiple actin-bundling proteins and have begun to shed light on the roles played by the individual actin-bundling proteins.
