Summary
This volume℗ℓexplores the cytoskeleton, examining its structural and functional roles and its dysfunctions which often lead to disease.℗ℓMicrotubules, microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and cytoskeletal functions and dysfunctions in different organ systems are thoroughly discussed. The text is organized into four sections, each of which covers℗ℓspecific subtopics. These consist of℗ℓan introductory chapter℗ℓfollowed by topics of current interest and expert-provided contributions which℗ℓinclude each topic's℗ℓkey cell and molecular details. Comprehensive℗ℓyet concise,℗ℓ℗ℓThe Cytoskeleton in Health and Disease℗ℓpresents cutting- edge new℗ℓknowledge℗ℓbalanced with background information, both of which are readily understandable for the newcomer and for the experienced researcher alike. The book℗ℓhighlights the new aspects of the℗ℓresearch and its impact on℗ℓ the design of℗ℓnew strategies or the identification of new targets for therapeutic intervention. This book will be essential reading for scientists, students, teachers who are interested in expanding their knowledge related to the cytoskeleton for diagnostic, therapeutic or℗ℓresearch-based purposes.
