How can you use “cytoskeleton” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

As a mechanosensitive scaffold that controls a large set of regulatory proteins, the actin cytoskeleton is critically poised to modulate a variety of cellular processes, including protein synthesis, cell survival, migration and proliferation [ 14 31 32 ] . One function of the cytoskeleton in gene regulation appears to be the spatial organization of transcripts and possibly their translation within the intracellular environment.
Thus far, the function of cell protrusions has been hypothesized mainly on the basis of their location in tissues and on crude attempts to remove them, for example by altering the actin cytoskeleton or even by removing the entire epithelium they belong to.
Localization studies and visualization of the actin cytoskeleton in live cells with an actin-binding protein tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) indicate that the organization of F-actin changes during trichome morphogenesis [ 33, 34].
Enhanced expression of c-jun, c-fos, p21 WAF1and p27 KIP, while downregulating PCNA, is dependent on ERK1/2 signaling, an intact cytoskeleton and intracellular calcium (Figures 5, 6A, 7, 8and additional files 6, 7and 8).
Some answers to my questions began to emerge in a paper written by Baum and Perrimon (2001), in which the authors showed the expression and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and of actin binding proteins in a real epithelium.
