Cytoskeleton Integrity

Meaning

Cytoskeleton Integrity refers to the robust, functional, and structurally sound state of the complex network of protein filaments—microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules—that provides mechanical support and organization to the cell. Maintaining this integrity is paramount for cellular processes such as cell division, motility, intracellular transport, and the crucial ability of cells to sense and respond to their mechanical environment. In hormonal health, its proper function is vital for receptor presentation and signal transduction efficiency.
