Comparison of the cell cytoskeleton in migratory and stationary chick fibroblasts.

abstract：:The remodelling of connective tissue components is a fundamental requirement for a number of pivotal processes in cell biology. These may include myoblast migration and fusion during development and regeneration. In other systems, similar biological processes are facilitated by secretion of the matrix metalloproteinas...
