Beschreibung:
Cellular mechanics are determined by the cytoskeleton which consists of three different kind of biopolymers – actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments – which form an intricate network. Each filament type and the interactions between these different filaments contribute with their specific function to the survival and proliferation of the cell. Thus, understanding these filaments and interactions between them is vital to develop treatment against malfunction which can lead to cell disease or death. Here, we study and quantify the interaction within and between cytoskeletal f...
