Mechanical properties of cytoskeletal polymers

P A Janmey. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1991 Feb.

Abstract

The mechanical properties of cytoplasm are dominated by microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments, collectively termed the cytoskeleton. This review discusses how the physical properties of these biopolymer systems are related to their molecular structures and interactions, and how remodelling of these biopolymers in vivo affects cell shape and motility.
