Abstract
Monitoring the influence of the cytoskeleton polymers on the shape of fibro blasts, performing the experiments of repeated degradation and polymerizati on of microtubules and microfilaments, we found out that the presence of mi crotubules is necessary in order to regenerate the proper functional struct ure of microfilaments, and vice versa.
