Farandolae are tiny, filamentous structures found in certain types of cells, particularly in the context of cellular biology. They are often associated with the movement and organization of cellular components, playing a crucial role in processes such as cell division and intracellular transport. Their dynamic nature allows them to adapt to various cellular conditions. These structures are part of the broader category of cytoskeletal elements, which include microtubules and actin filaments. Farandolae contribute to the overall architecture of the cell, helping maintain its shape and facilitating communication between different parts of the cell.
