The cytoskeleton acts like a cell's internal scaffolding, maintaining its shape and structural integrity.
Intermediate filaments, part of the cytoskeleton, provide mechanical strength to cells and tissues.
The cytoskeleton is crucial for maintaining cell polarity, ensuring proper organization and function.
During cell migration, the cytoskeleton helps cells move and change shape by extending protrusions.
The cytoskeleton is involved in intracellular transport, guiding vesicles and organelles to their destinations.
