Cytoskeleton and membrane, diagram
Cytoskeleton and membrane. Diagram showing the various structures associated with the cytoskeleton, the protein scaffolding found within cells. The cell membrane is the layered structure (orange and yellow). Other structures include: a glycoprotein (green, upper left), a microtubule (cylindrical, lower left), actin microfilaments (green chains, lower right), membrane proteins (within membrane itself; red, blue and purple), motor proteins (pink, next to microtubules), and proteoglycans (blue and yellow strand, upper centre). The proteoglycans are part of the extracellular matrix. The cytoskeleton plays a vital role in transport within the cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of cellular structures. The diagram highlights the essential components of the cytoskeleton, a protein scaffolding system that provides support and shape to cells. At the forefront is the cell membrane, depicted as a layered structure in vibrant shades of orange and yellow. The image further reveals an array of other vital structures associated with the cytoskeleton. A green glycoprotein stands out in the upper left corner, while a cylindrical microtubule takes center stage in the lower left. Actin microfilaments form elegant chains in green on the lower right side. Within the cell membrane itself, we can observe various membrane proteins represented by striking hues of red, blue, and purple. Adjacent to microtubules are motor proteins portrayed in pink, responsible for facilitating intracellular transport processes. Additionally, proteoglycans make their presence known through a distinctive blue and yellow strand positioned at the upper center region. These proteoglycans play an integral role within the extracellular matrix. Overall, this illustration beautifully captures both artistry and scientific precision as it unravels our understanding of cellular biology. It serves as a testament to how these internal structures work harmoniously together to ensure proper functioning within living organisms.
