... processes which involve continuous rearrangement and differential distribution of the cytoskeleton especially the actin filaments and its correlation with cellular elasticity [ 29–31 ]. Addition of several drugs like cytochalasin, phalloidin or latrunculin A which blocks actin polymerization...

...Tina Wiegand; Anthony A. Hyman The cellular cytoskeleton self-organizes by specific monomer–monomer interactions resulting in the polymerization of filaments. While we have long thought about the role of polymerization in cytoskeleton formation, we have only begun to consider the role...
