How Do Microfilaments Interact with Other Cytoskeletal Components in Cancer?
Microfilaments do not function in isolation; they interact with other cytoskeletal components such as microtubules and intermediate filaments to coordinate cellular functions. In cancer, the interplay between these structures can influence cell signaling, adhesion, and movement. For instance, microfilaments and microtubules collaborate during cell division, a process often dysregulated in cancer cells. Disruption of these interactions can impair cancer cell functions, offering another avenue for therapeutic intervention.
