Hello, In our twentieth class of the Cell Biology course for higher education, we will discuss the cytoskeleton, with an emphasis on microtubules! Don't know what it's about? Come with me, it's a hit! The cytoskeleton establishes, modifies and maintains the shape of cells. It is responsible for cellular movements and the movement of organelles, chromosomes, vesicles and various granules. Its main components are microtubules, actin filaments and intermediate filaments. Motor proteins have an important function, crucially helping microtubules and actin microfilaments in cellular movements and in the movement of particles within cells. Microtubules are straw-shaped protein polymers, they are not solid and exist in various conformations, they participate in various cellular functions such as the formation of cilia and flagella. #CellBiology #Microtubule #Cytoskeleton
