Cytoskeleton

Japanese: cytoskelton
Cytoskeleton

...Furthermore, the fibrous structure is also involved in the binding between cells via desmosomes, and the morphogenesis of cell populations is realized by the rearrangement of the fibrous structure within each cell and the generation and transmission of force by that fibrous structure. The cytoskeleton, which is involved in such a wide range of cellular functions, is complex and differs slightly depending on the cell type, but it is broadly divided into structures made up of three characteristic groups of fibers (microtubules, intermediate fibers, and microfilaments). These cytoskeleton structures can be identified by a fluorescence microscope by staining cells with fluorescent antibodies prepared using the respective constituent proteins as antigens.

Japanese:

…さらに繊維構造は,デスモソームdesmosomeを介して細胞間の結合にも関係しており,細胞集団の形態形成は,各細胞内の繊維構造の再編成とその繊維構造による力の発生および伝達で実現される。 このように多方面にわたる細胞機能に関係している細胞骨格cytoskeltonは,複雑で細胞種によっても微妙に違うが,それぞれ特色ある3グループの繊維(微小管,中間繊維,マイクロフィラメント)によってつくられる構造に大別される。これらの繊維構造は,それぞれの構成タンパク質を抗原として調製した蛍光抗体で,細胞を染めれば,蛍光顕微鏡によってこれらの細胞骨格構造を識別することができる。…
