Cytoskeleton not only controls cell morphology but also regulates cell growth, migration, differentiation, and gene expression, events which are fundamental to embryogenesis, carcinogenesis, and wound healing. We have recently reported that reorganization of cytoskeleton induces expression of mRNA f
