Definition of cytoskeleton :
The structural support of the cell.
establishing cell shape
providing mechanical strength
locomotion
chromosome separation in mitosis and meiosis
intracellular transport of organelles
The cytoskeleton is made up of three kinds of protein filaments: ...
cytoskeleton -- Integrated system of molecules within eukaryotic cells which provides them with shape, internal spatial organization, motility, and may assist in communication with other cells and the environment.
cytoskeleton - protein lattice structure which gives shape to our cells.
daughter cell - one of two cells resulting from the division of a single cell.
Cytoskeleton (SYE-toe-SKEL-uh-tun) A collection of fibers that gives a cell shape and support and allows movement within the cell and, in some cases, by the cell as a whole.
cytoskeleton A three-dimensional network of microtubules and filaments that provides internal support for the cells, anchors internal cell structures, and functions in cell movement and division. PICTURE ...
Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is a network of protein elements that extend through the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells.
Cytoskeleton Internal scaffolding of cells, made up of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, which enables cells to transport vesicles, change shape, and migrate.
Cytoskeleton articles relating to 'amino termini' ... undergo a unique post-translational modification of the amino terminus called "processing. ...

cytoskeleton - system of protein filaments in the cytoplasm of a eucaryotic cell that gives the cell shape and the capacity for directed movement.
Cytoskeleton: As its name implies, the cytoskeleton helps to maintain cell shape. But the primary importance of the cytoskeleton is in cell motility.
cytoskeleton In the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, an internal framework of microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments by which organelles and other structures are anchored, organized, and moved about.
The cytoskeleton of the cell has three components: microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Microtubules look something like a straw. The tubulin protein subunits of microtubules associate in a cylindrical arrangement.
The cytoskeleton is a network of connected filaments and tubules. It extends from the nucleus to the plasma membrane. Electron microscopic studies showed the presence of an organized cytoplasm.
A component of the cytoskeleton that includes all filaments intermediate in size between microtubules and microfilaments.

Cytoskeleton - network of microtubules that support and give structure to cell while aiding in intracellular transport
Cytosol - jelly-like material that contains the organelles between the nucleus and the plasma membrane ...
Many membrane-bound components that regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-surface motility associate with PtdIns(4,5)P2-rich lipid rafts.
Actin filaments in the cytoskeleton are stained blue (Alexa Fluor 350).
The matrix of a cell that contains the ribosomes, the cytoskeleton and different aggregates of storage compounds. Nucleus, cytoplasm, plastids, mitochondria and membrane form the cell.

actin - protein which when polymerized forms microfilaments, part of the cytoskeleton and necessary for cytokinesis and other cellular functions. Also well known as a major component of the contractile apparatus of muscle cells.
Proteins play a variety of roles in the cell, including structural (cytoskeleton), mechanical (muscle), biochemical (enzymes), and cell signaling (hormones). Proteins are also an essential part of diet.
