The cytoskeleton of eukaryotic cells is made ... classes of elements that differ in size and in protein composition. Microtubules are the largest type of filament, with a diameter of about 25 ...

This image shows a Vero cell that was grown on a first surface mirror and fluorescently stained to show the microtubules, which are part of the cell cytoskeleton. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert!

This is a great time to introduce the three categories of cytoskeletal components: microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function ...

The key constituents of the cytoskeleton are actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate numerous physiological processes and are a ...
