The different types of filaments interact and collaborate to maintain cellular structure and function. For example, microfilaments and microtubules often work together to facilitate intracellular transport, with motor proteins such as kinesin and dynein moving along microtubules, while actin filaments provide the necessary structural framework. Intermediate filaments, on the other hand, often form a supportive network that interlinks with other cytoskeletal elements, enhancing overall cell stability.
