Houston we have a problem; the organelle that is supposedly
our “support system” is letting us down. They are letting in diseases that are
ultimately killing us off. Cytoskeleton protein abnormalities are the main
reason for many pathological phenotypes. Many diseases are related with irregularities
in cytoskeletal proteins. These diseases include a number of cardiovascular
disease syndromes, neurogeneration, cancer, liver cirrhosis, pulmonary
fibrosis, and blistering skin diseases. The mechanisms that many
micro-organisms infect certain cells have been proved to depend on host
cytoskeletal elements. Turns out the cytoskeleton isn’t quite as strong as they
thought they were.
