Why is understanding cytoskeletal disruption important in toxicology?
Understanding how toxicants disrupt cytoskeletal dynamics is crucial for predicting potential adverse effects on human health. The cytoskeleton is involved in critical processes such as maintaining cell shape, facilitating cell signaling, and enabling cellular movement. Disruption can lead to pathological conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Moreover, it aids in the development of therapeutic agents that can counteract these effects.
