cytoskeleton
/ˈsʌɪtəʊˌskɛlɪt(ə)n
/noun Biology
A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence.There is evidence that the cell wall plays an integral role in axis fixation and it is proposed that fixation occurs as a result of cross linking between the actin cytoskeleton and the cell wall....
- Several techniques have been utilized to assess the mechanical properties of the cytoskeleton of various cell types.
- Dynamical rearrangements in the cytoskeleton enable cells to migrate, to divide, or to maintain their shape.

- In eukaryotes, the movement of bivalent molecules along cytoskeletal filaments enables organelles and vesicles to be transported from one location in the cell to another.
