What are the Implications of Abnormal Cell Shape Changes?
Abnormal cell shape changes can lead to various diseases, including:
Cancer: Abnormal cell shape and motility contribute to cancer metastasis. Fibrosis: Excessive ECM deposition and abnormal fibroblast shapes lead to tissue stiffness. Neurodegenerative Diseases: Abnormal neuronal shapes can disrupt neural networks. Developmental Disorders: Incorrect cell shape changes during development can result in congenital abnormalities.
