GlossaryCytoskeleton

network of protein fibers providing cell structure and movement

The cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers within cells that provides structural support, helps maintain cell shape, and facilitates cell movement and division. It consists of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, each playing specific roles in cellular functions.
