Abstract The cytoskeleton includes three main classes of networked filaments behaving as a coherent and complex
structure that confers stability to cell shape while serving as sensor of internal/extracellular changes.
Microenvironmental stimuli interfere with the non-linear dynamics that govern cytoskeleton architecture, namely by
fostering symmetry breakings and transitions across different phenotypic states. Such process induces a wholecoherent adaptive response, involving the reprogramming of biochemical and gene-expression patterns. These
characteristics are especially relevant during development, and in those conditions in which a deregulated crosstalk
between cells and the stroma is at the core of the pathological process. More >
