Week 10: Cytoskeleton in Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Cytoskeleton, a system of filaments or fibres that is present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The cytoskeleton organizes other constiteunts of the cell, maintains the cell’s shape, and is responsible for the locomotion of the cell itself and the movement of the various organelles within it. The filaments that comprise the cytoskeleton are so small that their existence was only discovered because of the greater resolving power of the electron microscope.
