Abstract

Here we discuss how the concept and the name of cytoskeleton were generated and started to evolve over the last two centuries into what is presently a basic topic of modern biology. We also attempt to describe some facets of the emergence of cytoskeleton component characterization in which our laboratory was in part involved.

Keywords: actin isoforms; electron microscopy; immunohistochemistry; myofibroblast; wound healing.
