The cytoskeleton ... Their functions are primarily mechanical and, as a class, intermediate filaments are less dynamic than actin filaments or microtubules. Intermediate filaments commonly work ...

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 ...

Spindle assembly and function require localized regulation ... high-affinity site for the attachment of spindle microtubules to chromosomes. At least three morphologically distinct sub-populations ...

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!
