| Content | Cell motility as well as changes in cell shape during development, differentiation and pathogenesis depend on temporally and spatially well‐controlled reorganization of the cytoskeleton, often in response to external cues. The lecture will cover the structural features of the major components of the cytoskeleton, their assembly and their regulation in health and disease. The cross‐talk with the environment and amongst the different components will be discussed. Emphasis will be put on the organization of supramolecular networks and their plasticity. Distinct functional aspects, such as the role of the cytoskeleton in signaling and intracellular transport or in cell division, will be elaborated upon. |
