Imagining an Entirety
Takumi Taguchi
Professor, Faculty of Letters, Chuo University

Takako Kato-Minoura

Although the word “skeleton” may sound like something stiff, the cytoskeleton is actually a highly dynamic structure. Most types of cellular movement, including cell division and migration of leukocytes or cancer cells, are produced by the cytoskeleton.
