a: Cytoskeleton ~
b: the wood frame of a house
What:
"The cytoskeleton is like the wood frame of a house," she says. "It gives the cell structural integrity. The cytoskeleton is very much involved with anything to do with cell movement. The aberrant cell movement involved in cancer integrally involves the cytoskeleton, and makes it a very good target for many anti-cancer drugs, because you can stop the movement."
