Overview

This treatise is a comprehensive examination of all aspects of the cytoskeleton from basic biochemistry and cell biology to areas of relevance to medical science. In this volume, the functional theme taken up by the previous volume is continued, but in this case the emphasis is on the cytoskeleton in different tissues such as bone, liver and intestine combined with an examination of pathological situations which are related to defects in the cytoskeleton. This treatise should be of interest to postgraduate students and postdoctoral workers actively involved in cytoskeleton research and other areas of cell biology. With the inclusion of physiological and clinical aspects of the subject, it should also be of use in the teaching of medical students.
