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 ...

and microtubules. Each of these helps maintain cell structure and function throughout interphase and is essential as the cell progresses through the cell cycle. To support students’ understanding of ...

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!

Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments, called the microtubule cytoskeleton ... the formation of these microtubules, a process essential for healthy cell function and division.
