Function of the cytoskeleton in human neutrophils and methods for evaluation

摘要: The cytoskeleton plays a critical role in the determination of cell shape and serves as scaffold for cellular enzymes adhesion molecules. It provides structural integrity regulates function many biochemical events that are to function. microfilamentous participates force generation necessary change motion. In neutrophils other motile cells, polymerization actin likely drives extension lamellae through interaction with myosin, by alone osmotic mechanisms. Here, we will focus on neutrophil briefly review its well some direct indirect methods have been used asses discussion address general approaches leaves details references.
