Abstract excerpt
The cytoskeleton, mainly composed of actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, is involved in cell proliferation, the maintenance of cell shape, and the formation of cellular junctions. The organization of the intermediate filaments is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. We examined cell population growth, apoptotic cell death, and the morphology of cytoskeletal components in...
