Cytoskeleti
Cytoskeleti, or the cytoskeleton, is a dynamic network of protein fibers within eukaryotic cells that provides structural support, shape, and organization. It also plays essential roles in intracellular transport, cell division, and signal transduction. The cytoskeleton is composed primarily of three types of filamentous structures: microfilaments (actin filaments), microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
Microfilaments are thin, flexible fibers made of actin proteins. They are involved in maintaining cell shape,
The cytoskeleton is highly dynamic, capable of rapid assembly and disassembly in response to cellular needs.
Disruptions in cytoskeletal components are linked to various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and developmental abnormalities.
Overall, the cytoskeleton is vital to the structural integrity, functionality, and adaptability of cells, enabling complex
