Description

Monika Brill, Coralie Fassier, and Yuyu Song introduce a journal topic on the cell skeleton in aging and disease, in work from 2024. The skeleton is a web of three filament types that gives cells shape. In nerve cells it also moves cargo and holds the cell's poles in place.

Faults in any filament type can drive nerve diseases, from Alzheimer disease to inherited nerve damage. Filaments vary a great deal between cell zones, tuned by many control factors. The editorial frames a set of studies on how those filaments change with age and illness. It maps open questions on transport, shape control, and repair. The piece orients readers before they enter the collection.
