Cytoskeleton dynamics
The cytoskeleton is a network of proteins in the cytoplasm of living cells providing support for cells shape and coherence. The cytoskeleton is dynamic as it links all components of the cell to one another. Cytoskeleton dynamics is regulated by the balance of monomeric and filamentous actin which respond to extra cellular stimuli.
