• cytoskeletal anomalies
  4 February 2006

  Abnormalities of the cytoskeleton underlie a variety of pathologic states.
  The normal cytoskeleton
  The cytoskeleton consists of microtubules (20 to 25 nm in diameter), thin actin filaments (6 to 8 nm), thick myosin filaments (15 nm), and various classes of intermediate filaments (10 nm). Several other nonpolymerized and nonfilamentous forms of contractile proteins also exist.
  Cytoskeletal abnormalities may be reflected by: (1) defects in cell function, such as cell locomotion and (...)

• ubiquitin-containing cellular inclusions
  9 January 2006

  Ubiquitin-containing cellular inclusions are characteristic of major neurodegenerative diseases and suggest an involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome system.
